After a 21 year hiatus, they reunited in 2017 with a brand new album, ‘Knows Time, Knows Change’ and toured the UK and Europe to much critical and audience acclaim. When Daphne’s Flight completed their tour in 2018 and after a handful of euphoric festival performances in 2019 which garnered them an army of new followers, the stage was set for a 25th anniversary tour in 2020 with a brand new album to launch and celebrate. For personal reasons Christine Collister is unable to join for current performances, but in 2022 Julie, Chris, Helen and Mel introduced the talented Miranda Sykes on vocals and double bass, adding yet another exciting new element to the band. The result in rehearsals couldn’t be better, the blend of personalities and musical synergy has given new energy and hope to Daphne’s and so a new chapter begins.

Imagine, if you can, the instrumental sparkle and songwriting creds of The Travelling Wilburys combined with the striking vocal prowess of Sweet Honey In The Rock. Then add the warmth and down-to-earth humour of The Derry Girls and you’ll be somewhere in Daphne’s territory. They create a unique sound and energy which unites singer-songwriter, folk, blues and more. Crossing a huge range of topics and genres, blending folk, blues, jazz and pop all woven together with striking harmonies and supported by a range of instrumentation and percussion. The music of Daphne’s Flight is a magical layering of sensitivity, beauty, experience and empowerment. Their songs are thought provoking, uplifting, empowering and relatable. They continue to inspire audiences with the warmth, energy and sheer joy they bring to their performances.

Daphne’s Flight are on tour in May 2025, they are, quite simply, a force to be reckoned with. Join them on what promises to be an unmissable return flight to the stage.
