Originally from Liverpool, they now live in the south Gloucestershire Cotswolds.

With a combination of Bryony Holden's rich, resonant vocals, and her sister's modal guitar style, Tinkerscuss songs are dark and eerie. Of their album ‘Of Darkwoods and Bright Fires’, one review said: “..The perfect album to listen to in a cottage amid a dark wood, cosied up to a bright fire. ” For ‘Mythago’, the review by Folkwords says: "Delicate, powerful beauty. Mythago from Tinkerscuss is a rare, rich treasure of story and myth delivered with refined atmosphere and edge. Mythago encompasses depth, power and force delicately applied. Just a touch is all that's needed to reach out and enthrall the listener. There is within this album a mix of love, fear, darkness and light that carries a dreadful beauty. To Make You Stay is gentle soft seduction, while The Cursing Song has a guitar that slithers up and down your spine. And their outstanding version of Long Lankin will linger in your head for a long time. Fine Horseman is magic - probably best listened to in front of a single candle in the dark - just to make sure you're spooked. An album of passionate music. "
