Composer, Songwriter and Performer

This performance marks an important step in her developing presence within North Wales’ classical music scene.Hazel’s work explores cross‑disciplinary collaboration, with a particular interest in how sound can hold memory, identity, and shared experience. She regularly works with local poet Alison Lock and jazz musician Steve Summers, - and is one half of Darwish and Mary - a duo creating original music that blends folk, improvisation, and contemporary storytelling.Hazel also contributes to grassroots arts activity in Conwy. She curates Conwy Fringe and leads initiatives including the Songwriters and Poets Society, Sesiwn Conwy Folk, and The Telford 200 Creative Collective, supporting emerging voices and strengthening the region’s cultural identity.
