Clockenflap Music Festival

Ellen Loo: multilingual songwriting, playing Clockenflap and Hong Kong politics

Probably the best-known Hong Kong artist at this year’s Clockenflap festival, Ellen Loo got her big break as half of Canto-folktronica outfit at17, alongside Eman Lam.

After a period as part of Eason Chan’s touring band, the Canada-born guitarist has forged a successful solo career with her unpredictable, minor-key, plangent, thoughtful compositions, many of them these days in Putonghua.
