BIO

​

Oxford’s Barricane, described as modern folk with a femme fatale twist, is fronted by singer songwriters Rosy and Emily. Their band, made up of Ian Nixon on bass, Ant Green on lead guitar and Gary Neville on drums, lay the foundations for their haunting harmonic acrobatic vocals, the pivotal point around their often climactic, atmospheric and stormy songs. Described by Nightshift Magazine as ‘Oxford’s best folk band’, they released their debut album ‘The Sky and Us’ during lockdown. They have followed the album up with numerous singles, their most recent, Moon, released in June 2025. They plan to get back into the studio for more releases in 2026!

CURRENT NEWS AND UPDATES

​

March 2026

 

Rosy and Emily have collaborated with Simon Veaney on his wonderful new EP Dovetailing released in March 2026. 

​

"These four songs are a short road movie of the mind, set against coastal scenes filled with passing storms blowing out to sea, empty cafes at dusk, and B&B breakfast tables full of suggestive looks amongst the mini jam jars and butter knives.

It’s also a meditation on the way music and our need for connection offer us succour in these troubled times. A weird magic not of my making trickles through the slowburn desire of Dovetailing, the languid surrender of Long Slow Dream, the ‘ties that bind our minds’ of Little Distractions and the folk songs of Deeper Meaning. Songs gain that deeper meaning when we pass them on, and in the process they inherit a piece of our souls.

It’s a mixtape, a late night cinema showing, a tangle of feelings and an offering to the ghosts that inspire me: David Lynch’s soundtracks, Françoise Hardy, Lanegan Cash & Cohen (the dark solicitors of the soul), Conway Savage.

Thank you to Barricane for your beautiful harmonies, and Nick Malewski for your searing, turbulent guitar on Dovetailing."
