Wednesday 10th July - Jon Doran & The Northern Alliance - Jon Doran and The Northern Assembly are a groundbreaking new collaboration that captures the excitement that lies within traditional song and shines new light on old stories from the British Isles. With striking vocals from Jon Doran (BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award Finalist 2019) and the virtuosic playing of instrumentalists Heather Ferrier (accordion) and Jordan Aikin (whistle), the trio create dynamic songs that combine exhilarating contemporary arrangements with Jon’s much-loved traditional performance style.
‘Jon Doran is that rare kind of musician who is equally happy leading a song with his strong and tuneful voice or backing other musicians with great sensitivity.’ (James Fagan)

Wednesday 11th September - The Shackleton Trio - A highly original and energetic musical force that combines captivating songwriting, fiery tunes and powerful three part harmonies. The Shackleton Trio are Georgia Shackleton (fiddle, vocals), Aaren Bennett (guitar) and Nic Zuppardi (mandolin). Natural talents of the folk tradition, their self-penned material blends seamlessly with their imaginative yet authentic re-workings of traditional folk standards, influenced by British, American and Scandinavian folk traditions but remaining firmly rooted in the local tradition of the band’s native East Anglia.
