Seb Stone

Join us in The Fae Folkrooms for an evening of music, poetry and connection, with performances from local artists and invited special guests. The Fae Folkrooms celebrates the underground, the otherworldly, the alternative, the queer and the extraordinary.

This month’s special guest is Seb Stone, a traditional singer, whistle player and uilleann piper from the Peak District. After graduating from Royal Holloway University in 2022, with singing lessons at the Royal Academy of Music, he won both the Future of Folk and Shantyman of the Year awards at Bromyard Folk Festival, as well as Stainsby Folk Festival’s singing competition. In the autumn of 2023, he was billed alongside Martin Carthy at Cork Folk Festival, and sang on stage with the Wilson Family at Hartlepool Folk Festival a week later.

He draws on a varied repertoire of traditional English and Irish songs, focussing on the stories they have to tell, and their relevance to our modern world. Seb is very active in the Sheffield folk scene, regularly attending and running sessions for both tunes and songs, and his debut album, recorded with Scribe Records, was released in March 2024.
