Claire is a member of long-running psychfolk band Hands of the Heron, contributing songs and arrangements to albums 13 Moons and Quiet Light, and touring extensively at venues and festivals across the UK. She also on occasion performs with respected vocal/percussion ensemble Tryani Collective and new alt-folk/pop project Kai & Hollis.
Other projects
Claire collaborated with new drone folk project Woodfolk for their EP Oak released June 2024. On the collection she transforms poem ‘The Brave Old Oak’ into a folksong melody that could be centuries old, with her voice split and blended in captivating harmonies. She also features on lead single ‘Before The Land Was Cleared’. Above shuddering layers of harmonium, electric guitar & percussive sounds, Vine’s voice soars and then warps, looping over itself, as she laments the destruction of old forest.
Claire has also recently been granted the DYCP grant from Arts Council England, supporting her to develop her singing and songwriting craft alongside working on a series of collaborative song-writing workshops relating to climate justice and climate grief.
