Annown, (pron. Ann-ow-ann ) is a contemporary Cornish folk band featuring the songs of Chris Hytch.
Originally a duo, with Clare Coltart, Annown is now Chris aided by local semi-professional musicians as and when needed, i,e. folk festivals and larger venues.
HIs original songs reflect a love of Cornish folklore and history, comprising reworked folk tales, historical events and more personal songs.
All Chris's songs are presented in a creative way, utilising sound samples as well as traditional instruments such as fiddle, banjo, mandolin and guitar. There are blues, jazz and even hip-hop influences which contribute to a unique sound. The two albums so far have been produced by Chris, a former Midlands-based music producer in his own studio, 'The Piggery'.
