Lucy & Hazel are a Sheffield-based folk duo charming audiences with self penned folk laced with humour, harmonies and heartache. With influences drawn from a lifetime steeped in traditional English and European folk music, song and dance, Lucy Huzzard and Hazel Thompson combine a love of groove, soulful raw harmonies and passionate song writing to give you hope in these strange times. 

On melodeon, clarinets, guitar and two distinct and powerful voices, Lucy & Hazel’s set will take you on a journey through themes of land and climate justice, feminism, apocalypse, power and platonic love. With inspirations spanning from punk to stories of resistance, they are a powerful and entertaining folk duo on the scene. 

Today is the day we won’t move out of the way, we sing together

Since their first gig in 2021, they have been pouring the love into their partnership and have crafted a set which combines both of their song writing, love for traditional music and passion for social commentary into one. 

Lucy & Hazel have piqued interest with audiences up and down the country with their powerful sound and dedication to political commentary. They have played at a host of festivals including Cambridge and Sidmouth Folk Festivals, Fire in the Mountain, Shambala, Floating Castle (Slovenia), and Tramlines, and have also played and promoted multiple sold out shows up and down the UK. They have supported the likes of Sam Lee, Kate Young, Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, Brothers Gillespie and Hedera.

“Lucy and Hazel are surely the queens of the new tribe of British folk emerging from the radical activist left. Folk music just got very exciting.” – Sam Lee

During an Imbolc trip to Wales the pair began their first frolics into co-writing and have now produced their debut EP ‘What Was Stolen’, which was released on the 20th February 2025. Their second co-written original song ‘Ghost of an Icon’ was played on The Nest Collective’s ‘Singing with Nightingales, Homecoming Broadcast’ hosted by Sam Lee.

“Poignant and witty, Lucy & Hazel will make you laugh and cry. Absolutely brilliant!” – Tamsin Elliott

In 2024 they received the Alan James Bursary from EFDSS and Drake Music for a creative residency at Cecil Sharp House to develop material for their debut album about land justice. They also came third in the PFITE Homestage Competition 2024 for songs about climate change with their song The Tower.

“These two have really found their voices, politically and musically. ‘What Was Stolen’ is thoughtful, engaging and sung out beautifully.” – Sandra Kerr
