Harbottle & Jonas are a stunning young folk duo based in Totnes, Devon. Their music is eclectic and is always accompanied with a great story. Playing over 100 gigs each year, these troubadours are to be found far and wide across our beautiful islands.

The Medlarsare a seven piece contemporary folk band based in London. Formed in early 2016, they released their self titled but album in May 2017. Songs about environment, homelessness and austerity are accompanied by the bands unique and frank sound.

Inspired by her Scottish heritage, Christy has come to compose a diverse range of folk music utilising vocals, guitars, strings and drums. She skilfully channels her wealth of experience in traditional Scots song, and her love of world folk to create her own sound.

Bournemouth-based trio Plastic Jeezus are on a mission to play their ukulele-fuelled toe-tappers to as many people as possible; entertaining festivals and gig-goers alike. Wry lyrics coupled with jaunty tunes will have you dancing and chuckling in equal measure.

Fly Yeti Fly are acoustic duo Lorna Somerville and Darren Fisher. Blending sensitive vocal harmonies with intricate guitar arrangements, mandolin and harmonica, they have a natural and free-spirited sound, telling tales of love, loss and living off the land.

Hailing from Sheffield, the band perform spirited and thought-provoking original songs. The five young wayfarers are already making a name for themselves among the English festival scene and with their 2017 debut album, "Common Ground."

Hailing from a family of showmen, Don Byron Wheatley started in music following the death of his father, before life got in the way. New inspiration lead to fresh songs and an album earlier in the year.

With a voice set to stun and a gift for interpretation that is second to none, Amelia Coburn spends every spare moment rifling through records and filtering the findings through her punky ukulele playing to wow audiences across the North East and increasingly beyond.

Championed by Tom Robinson and Cerys Matthews with nine plays on BBC 6 Music, the tracks forming Sleeping Leaves EP from Jeanes have been widely celebrated for their rustic ‘step off the world' charm. Out now on Folkstock Records.

David Hershaw and Sandie Forbes are two of the brightest and creative new voices to appear in the Scottish acoustic scene. Their music combines elements of the folk tradition with modern songwriting, infusing familiar melodies with fresh arrangements and sensibilities.

I am a singer-songwriter-guitarist, based in East Carmarthenshire.  I don't like to put a specific genre on the music I write…but I have been told that my songs tell a story and that my performance of them is always from the heart.

Musically mixing and twisting the origins of nearly forgotten melodies, The Twisted Twenty take 18th century musics from the British Isles and playing on original Baroque instruments, forge a new sound for the 21st century.

The Rude Mechanicals Band allow poems they love to inspire the music they play. Their first album, "Exit, Pursued By Bear" includes Shakespeare sonnets, poems snd instrumentals all inspired by the bard of their home county.

Yvonne Lyon has consistently stirred audiences across the UK and beyond with her emotive performances, combining poignant lyrics with creative melodies and demonstrating a voice that can be both fragile and intense.

Kate Ellis is an Americana singer/songwriter; her debut album "Carve Me Out" was released in June, 2017. The Observer: "Hauntingly beautiful songs!" Talk Radio: "Hits you straight in the heart." No Depression: "Just makes you press repeat."

William Thomas has been performing round the UK for the last year and along the way has been writing his own material. Taking influences from artists like Van Morrison, Ray Lamontagne and Foy Vance, he has a unique style of warm vocals over strong guitar melodies.

Song writing from a young age and well-known in her home town, Lisa received a grant from the Paisley 2021 City of Culture fund for her debut EP Free Spirits, which has been widely praised by local radio and music commentators.
