Last chance to save £30 on Earlybird tickets!

This week we’ve added a few more artists for our Friday line up. First off we have Tim Edey who has toured the world and recorded with most of the major names in Celtic/Contemporary roots music. Tim, now a name on the world stage in his own right after seventeen years of hard work, is rated by many to be one of the world’s finest ever Melodoen and Guitar players in the folk & contemporary scene today!

Next we have Hò-rò who are gradually becoming a force to reckon with in the Scottish music scene. They play diverse styles using instruments such as bagpipes, border pipes, accordion, and fiddle to produce a set that features rich musical textures.

Finally Sound of the Sirens, consisting of Exeter-based duo Abbe Martin and Hannah Wood, are joining our Friday line up to make this a day not to be missed. Writing from personal experiences they feel others can relate to, their live shows provide an unforgettable performance predicated on energy, warmth, humour and, above all, real conviction.

We wish you all a Happy Easter and don’t forget this is your last chance to save £30 on weekend Earlybird tickets.
