When all the Birds Have Flown Away - Album Launch

Join Helena Day for the launch of her debut album, When All the Birds Have Flown Away, in the magical outdoor setting of Plot 9, Greenwich, gathered around the fire for an intimate evening of live music.

Helena Day is a Kent based folk-fusion singer-songwriter whose sound blends traditional folk with jazz and soul through rich vocals and sparse, delicate live arrangements, described by BBC Radio Kent as sounding "like a fairytale", Helena is also a keen wildlife enthusiast and has begun using her music as a platform for matters of environmental conservation.

When All the Birds Have Flown Away is a collection of reimagined English folk songs and original music inspired by Britain's declining bird populations. The album explores broader themes of grief, seasonal turning, and ecological interconnection and invites us to challenge the systemic forces that have brought us here. To quote Joan Baez, “It doesn't protest gently, but it sounds gentle."

Helena will be joined by Tom Stephenson (guitar & banjo), Phoebe Harty (cello) and Nicholas Hann (flute). Opening act to be announced.

Merchandise will be available to buy including album CDs and cuckoo prints painted by Peter Loader. This is a completely acoustic performance. It is an outdoor space but there is a canopy shelter from the elements and a fire to gather around.
