anrimeal is the recording project of Ana Rita de Melo Alves; singer, songwriter, producer, poet, conjuror, clodhopper and cherub. Hailing from Porto, Ana creates and manipulates digital folk song from her current base in south London, drawing on the post-minimalist principles of texture, limitation and repetition. Lately, she can be found composing around the sound of creaking doors, percolating coffee, whispering toothbrushes and flower arranging, seeking and finding the magic in the domestic and humanity in the inanimate. Ana’s debut album Could Divine was released in November 2020, to widespread perked ears from the likes of BBC 6music, BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction, The Wire, Electronic Sound and Mojo, and can be found in limited yellow vinyl form on her Bandcamp. Her latest project (Could Divine, Remembered) is a reimagined, deconstructed companion piece to Could Divine, featuring remixes and reflections spun together with previously unreleased material.

Quinie, aka Josie Vallely, is based in Glasgow. She sings primarily in Scots, with a style inspired by the traditions of Scottish Traveller singers, and in particular Lizzie Higgins (1929-1993). Inspired by Higgins, Quinie’s experiments with composition and vocal techniques create a dialogue between pipe music and voice. Her work has a strong sense of place rooted in an imagined Scotland and explores contemporary and ancestral relationships with land and language. This performance will be unaccompanied solo
