Rebecka Edlund, Phoebe Harty and Cori Smith (Once a Fig) met in South East London, playing folk music and dancing polska into the early hours of the morning. The trio immerse themselves in myriad musical soundscapes, intertwining traditional folk melodies with original compositions and improvisations. Their spiralling arrangements with spinning, trance-like melodies morph into electrifying groove-based tunes, inviting the audience on a musical journey. For the trio, no other feeling comes close to making music, telling stories and sharing meaningful moments with an audience.

New duo Heathling are Nu folk musician Anna McLuckie and improvising flautist Gail Tasker who experiment by pairing traditional music with improvisation, old tunes with new approaches, and slow airs with fast-paced jigs.

Between them their collaboration has spanned many genres and collectives. Anna has joined forces with Stuart McCallum, Sèamus Òg, VAAGUE and Hunrosa. Gail Tasker currently performs across the UK with MF Tomlinson, Hiro Ama and For Breakfast.

Fran Barrett and Jess Collins are a new duo born from the London folk scene. Barrett (guitar fiddle and voice) and Collins (fiddle, voice and feet) create a lively and dynamic sound that takes you on a winding journey through the Celtic tradition, expect an outstanding range of traditional songs and tunes from this emerging duo
