Green Ribbons is a project dedicated to the celebration of unaccompanied song. In the 1800s, green ribbons were used to label people as ‘insane' and, reflecting on this historical reference, the group explores mental health in a number of their songs. Speaking about the project, founder Ben 'Jinnwoo' Webb explains: "Very broadly speaking, unaccompanied singing seems to have gone out of fashion in more recent years - but it's always something I've enjoyed performing and listening to when I've had the chance. I wanted to get a group together whose voices I feel really lend themselves to storytelling, and focus purely on the voice and the stories. We wanted to make something very rough around the edges and unpolished, a kind of documented swapping of songs..."
