Agent Starling (UK)

Agent Starling are known for their catchy hurdy-gurdy tunes, harmonies, hypnotic drones, live bass grooves and strings, all with an experimental edge and here at Frusion we're delighted to represent in multiple territories .. just about anywhere ..

We also represent Quentin for his solo shows - Quentin Budworth Solo and Celtarabia a truly unique band of a totally different hue!

Agent Starling are Quentin Budworth, hurdy-gurdy and Louise Duffy-Howard aka Lou Loudhailer, voices and other instruments. Quentin and Lou both have strong musical provenance. Lou was originally in the recently reformed prophetic UK Indie band Red Guitars and has gigged and recorded ever since, currently heading up psychedelic rock band Loudhailer Electric Company. Originally part of Suns of Arqa, hurdy-gurdy specialist Quentin is the force behind world fusion medieval rave band Celtarabia.

"Experimental hurdy-gurdy on duo's impressive debut. European Howl is a complex, immersive and at times disorienting listening experience." (SONGLINES July 2021)

"In all the years since this podcast started I don't think we've ever knowingly featured a hurdy-gurdy - but there's a first time for everything thanks to Agent Starling." (Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music)
