Lady Maisery is an English folk vocal harmony trio composed of Hannah James (formerly in Kerfuffle) (vocals, piano accordion, clogs, foot percussion) Hazel Askew (of The Askew Sisters) (vocals, concertina, harp, bells) and Rowan Rheingans (of Fidola, The Rheingans Sisters) (vocals, fiddle, banjo, bansitar). Inspired by folk singing traditions of the UK and northern Europe, Lady Maisery sing songs and ballads both unaccompanied, and with backing from their combined instrumental talents on accordion, harp and fiddle. They are reviving the tradition of diddling, or singing, tunes, something which has nearly died out in the England but is still prevalent in Scandinavia and other parts of Europe.
They released their first album, Weave & Spin in 2011, and their second, Mayday, in 2013. Their third album, Cycle, was released in October 2016
