Swallows and Crows is the evocative folk project of cellist composer Paddy Mitton. Drawing deeply from the rich tapestry of Cornish folklore and the timeless allure of the Celtic tradition. The music resonates with authenticity and passion, echoing the whispers of ancient tales and the rhythms of the sea.

Inspired by the wild Cornish coast and the stories of those who call it home, Swallows and Crows' signature sound combines folk music, sea shanties and hint of male voice choir. Blending hooky melodies with stirring harmonies that echo the soulful ghosts of the coast.

Dubbed brilliantly weird by BBC introducing. Cornish cello violin sea shanty male voice choir folk music could well become a thing…

New music out in 2026.
