Featuring - Ninebarrow
Ninebarrow are a Dorset-based duo, who combine tenor ukulele and vocal harmonies to create a rich blend of folk-influenced songs. Jon Whitley and Jay Labouchardiere perform a diverse range of material – much of which has been inspired by the fantastic music sessions that can be found locally and at many of the Great British folk festivals.
From traditional unaccompanied songs to modern folk – they take material and rework it in their own unique way. Ninebarrow's original songs take much of their inspiration from the landscape and history of the places they have visited around the country.
