Taken from their debut album "Findings", an album that Ange Hardy & Lukas Drinkwater couldn't have created alone and which highlights the natural affinity this duo have for each other's music.

Georgia's skills as a singer and instrumentalist have been put to the test in many contexts, but her own trio sees her teaming up with guitar powerhouse Aaren Bennet and mandolin ace Nic Zuppardi. "Endurance" comes from "The Dog Who Would Not Be Washed".

Kizzy is the youngest singer songwriter to have her music featured in the Welsh A Level syllabus. A recent guest on Radio 4's Woman's Hour, the bilingual 20yr old melds her folk roots with a jazz/soul fusion that showcases her soaring voice.

A 2016 nominee for BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award, Jack Cookson is a multi-instrumentalist and talented singer-songwriter. Self described as 'mongrel folk', his music combines elements of blues, trad-folk and twinges of punk.

Folk-punk for a summer's afternoon, a sound forged in festivals and bonfires, with fiddle-driven rabble rousers and songs that stir the soul. The Leylines have created a style that combines the acerbic social commentary of Paul Weller with a vibe that feels like festival days.

Plu, (meaning feathers in Welsh) a sibling trio from North Wales play alternative Welsh language pop-folk with close three part harmonies a back-bone to their music. "Gollwng Gafael" (Letting Go) comes from their album "Tir A Golau".

Ruth single handedly converted a boat into a home studio that has become the base for her and her band as well as other musicians. She most recently recorded "Cactacus", her latest album there, featuring her distinguishable songwriting and honest lyricism.

Versed in the folk tradition, "P Stands For Paddy" comes from Matt Cudby And Erin Brown's debut album "On Shining Wings". The album is a delightful mixture of traditional and self penned songs and tunes and one that should see the duo reaching out to a wider audience.

Fara combines vibrant arrangements full of rich harmonies, energetic fiddle playing and driving piano with a mixture of self-penned and traditional Orkney tunes, along with stunning vocals. The girls' musical experiences and friendships produce an individual sound.

The Brewer's Daughter presents a perfectly balanced brew of traditional and original folk music, featuring gutsy female vocals, an antique fiddle and a vintage twelve string guitar. "Home, Sweet Home", is taken from the album "Make Believe".
