Dilettante is an art-rock collective led by multi-instrumentalist Francesca Pidgeon and is based in Northern England.

Primarily a guitarist and singer but, owing to a lack of social skills, she taught herself clarinet, saxophone, piano, bass and trumpet and bought a loop pedal in an attempt to avoid human contact.

FFO St Vincent, Fiona Apple, Dirty Projectors, tUnE-yArDs, Grizzly Bear and Kate Bush.

"One of my new favourite bands"

- Tom Robinson, Radio 6

'Pidgeon flits between saxophone/clarinet/guitar/piano to give her gorgeous compositions more texture, with her songs treading the line between the confessional and the obtuse with great aplomb. Reminiscent of Actor-era St Vincent at it’s very best, Dilettante’s soulful, articulate songwriting warms the hearts of those gathered.'
