Formed in 2019, Dilettante is an art-rock collective led by multi-instrumentalist Francesca Pidgeon and is based in Northern England. Primarily a guitarist and singer but, owing to a lack of social skills, she taught herself clarinet, saxophone, piano, bass and trumpet and bought a loop pedal in an ultimately futile (but productive) attempt to avoid human contact.
Expect woodwind loops and fuzzy guitar.
When not on tour as Dilettante (or as a member of BC Camplight or Nel Unlit) Francesca enjoys playing roller derby and making stop motion animations. FFO St Vincent, Fiona Apple, tUnE-yArDs, Billie Holiday, Andy Shauf and Grizzly Bear.
We're delighted to be working with H!M favourite Alabaster DePlume plus special guest Paddy Steer...
