Hickory Signals are a Brighton-based folk duo consisting of Laura Ward and Adam Ronchetti.
[1] Aside from their work as a duo, they are both full-time members of Brighton folk collective Bird in the Belly.
The title of the EP and the lyrics for the lead single were taken from the poem of the same name by James Joyce,[3] and was chosen by the duo as it mirrored their experiences of living on a house boat.
[4] In 2018, the band release their debut album entitled "Turn to Fray" through GFM Records.
[6] Bird in the Belly stated their objective as a band was to uncover forgotten or overlooked British songs, stories, and poems, and reintroduce them into the current folk music canon.
