Described as ‘London’s best kept secret’ by Max Reinhardt (BBC Radio 3 Late Junction) and ‘brave & classy’ by Robin Denselow (The Guardian) Fran & Flora are quickly becoming one of the capital's most sought after live acts. An eastern-European folk music inspired violin and cello duo with a distinctive intimate and improvisatory performance style, they were selected by BBC Music Introducing to perform at Latitude Festival, which was broadcast live across 2018. The pair have collaborated and toured with groundbreaking and established artists such as Sam Lee & Talvin Singh OBE for several years, where they developed a deep friendship, and from which their duo project began. Their growing reputation has accelerated since the recent release of their debut album unfurl (Feb 2019) which was produced by Sam Beste from Hejira. Unfurl has gained critical acclaim and attention from national radio, magazines, newspapers and online publications. They have appeared live in session on BBC4’s Woman's Hour, Cerys Matthews’ 6 Music Show and Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM. Recent performances include Kings Place, Cafe Oto, Eastbourne Folk Club, Klezmer In The Park, Shambala Festival, Shtetl Neukeulln (Berlin) and the EFG London Jazz Festival.
