The other-wordly sound of Eliza’s bansuri is warmly engaging, yet at the same time deeply mysterious.
– Joby Talbot
At the heart of Ranagri’s sound are the melodies, counter-melodies and harmonies that come from Eliza’s extensive armoury of flutes and whistles.

ABOUT
Over two decades the award-winning flautist and composer Eliza Marshall has worked with internationally acclaimed artists, orchestras and film composers, along with fronting her own projects and band.
Aged nine Eliza received a very special and life-changing gift: a cassette by the esteemed flautist James Galway with famed Irish trad band The Chieftains. It was its pure, soaring sound that made Eliza decide to hang up her violin and start learning the flute. After joining the junior conservatoire in Birmingham, Eliza continued her classical studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
Courage, curiosity and compassion seem to sum up Eliza’s whole approach to life, not just her musical career. “I’m a bit intrepid,” she says. “I love the world and I love connecting people, and I love the fact that music can do that.”
In 2013 Eliza co-founded the Anglo-Irish folk four-piece Ranagri with Dónal Rogers and in 2020 she launched Freedom to Roam: a multi-media project in collaboration with Born Free Foundation. Its themes of climate change, migration and connection to the land felt hugely pertinent and timely.
Over the years Eliza has worked with a dizzying number of top-class artists and orchestras including Peter Gabriel, Amjad Ali Khan, The Who and the Britten Sinfonia and on soundtracks such as The Lord of the Rings and David Attenborough’s A Life on Our Planet.
Now Eliza is pursuing an exciting new solo venture, with the release in May 2025 of an EP New Birth (on Real World X). Next up is her debut full-length solo album called Eternal Birth. A cinematic celebration of the cycle of life and the fragility of fertility, it’s bursting with kaleidoscopic musical influences, spoken word and soundscapes that evoke Eliza’s love of wilderness.
“Always remember it’s about moving people,” Peter Gabriel told her some years ago. It’s something she’s consistently adhered to, bringing an abundance of emotion and colour to all her music.
