​Writing in stolen time, on redundant pipe organs in Sussex, since 2017, Old Hag has recorded and performed songs to make you laugh and cry at the same time. Exploring pipe dreams and purging, Old Hag encourages empathy, transformation & comradery via droll, live performances with communal, ritual offerings.. ​Expect pipe organs, kaen hoover, strings, synths, folk instruments, foley, beats, binaural, field and hydrophone recordings and equally whindgy and grateful lyrics.Tracks being released soon!
