Hayley Griffiths - Far from Here (2023)

Acclaimed British singer Hayley Griffiths is set to release two albums, “Far from Here” and “Melanie,” on the same day on January 20, 2023. The Celtic music project “Far from Here” is a collaboration between Hayley and producer Mike Stobbie (founding member of British progressive rock band Pallas). It was originally envisioned as a 10-year anniversary follow up to Hayley’s 2011 album.

“Far from Here” highlights Hayley’s Celtic music and folk traditions side. Gifted with a crystalline voice, Hayley Griffiths’ voice elegantly combines classical music and folk styles. Moreover, the beautifully crafted arrangements masterfully add folk-rock rhythms; gorgeous Irish whistles; dazzling fiddles; evocative uilleann pipes; delightful harps, guitars and piano; spellbinding, dreamy ethereal moments; and, occasionally, uplifting orchestral sounds.
