Featuring

Gatehouse

Gatehouse are an Irish traditional band. The four members are Rachel Garvey (Vocals), Jacinta McEvoy (guitar and concertina), John McEvoy (fiddle and mandolin) and John Wynne (flute and whistles). Since getting together the band have gained a reputation for their tasteful interpretation of traditional songs and vibrant instrumentals, combining “masterful technical proficiency” with “vocal numbers where the sparkle glows”. The band have toured extensively, drawing audiences into their world of infectious rhythms and soothing vocals. Their subtle instrumental interplay, innovative accompaniment and enchanting vocals refreshes the ear and provides a unique insight into the roots of their tradition. “Gatehouse is obviously steeped in tradition but also very cognisant of stylistic innovations” Boston Irish.

Old Spot

Joe Danks & Rowan Piggott were introduced in 2021 and bonded over a shared passion for Old-Time Appalachian music. An initial campsite session turned into living room jams, sharing lifts to sessions and ultimately the creation of a new old-time duo - Old Spot. Expect foot stomping old-time music on fiddle, banjo, gourd banjo and guitar. Influenced by contemporary musicians like Rayna Gellert and Jake Blount as well as first-wave recording artists like John Hartford and Bill Monroe, they create contemporary Appalachian music with modern audiences in mind. Old Spot sees two musicians from different traditions to explore a shared musical love, creating traditional music that is bursting with joy and imagination.
