About

Swish and Filk

Swish and Filk was created by a group of friends, Ann, MJ and Nina, who share a love of all things Harry Potter and music. We all met on The Leaky Cauldron website, affectionately known as “Leaky”: Nina and Ann met through Scribbulus, Ann and MJ through The Corner Booth, and Nina and MJ through Ann!

We discovered filks through PotterCast, the Leaky Cauldron’s podcast, and quickly became obsessed with creating and performing our own. We span a wide vocal range, so enjoy harmonizing together, and are also blessed with Nina’s skill on the piano. As we do pretty much all of our filking together we decided to give ourselves a group name. We quickly decided on “The Leaky Sisters”, in honour of the place where we met!

  1. Hey, ladies.

    I googled “Filk in Grand Rapids” and luckily found you. :-)

    I am a German Harry Potter Fan and Filker currently staying in Grand Rapids (in Kentwood, to be precise) and I sooooo miss making music. Unfortunately I have neither my guitar nor my texts with me, but I would love to listen or make some music while I’m here.

    In case you want to know a little more about me, I am Spinner’s End on Leaky Cauldron, if they have changed the name by now. Otherwise loom for ZephyrFool.

    So, if you have any house filks or meet-ups or are just in the mood to make some music, would you mind letting me know?

    Thanks you

    Katja
