Becky Taylor and Sam Lawrence Acoustic duo with Sam Lawrence | Becky Taylor

Yorkshire’s finest folk duo, multi-instrumentalists Becky and Sam bring a treasure trove of songs, toe-tapping tunes and quality chat. Expect Uillean and Northumbrian pipes, whistles, strings and more….and for one night only, a new set of bird-themed dance tunes from the folk annals.

Dan Haywood Music | Dan Haywood

A Lancaster-based songwriter and ornithologist, Dan’s original music comes from a place of deep connection with the natural world – “His primary influences…seem to have seeped up from the ancient ground on which he made these airy and beautifully understated recordings” 

Ben Avison www.benavison.co.uk

Oxford-based Ben grew up in Kirkby Malham, and the bleak limestone landscape of Malhamdale remains a key influence on his music. Recent release “Making Memories on the Pennine Way” is a tribute to the hills of his home, as well as being a collaboration with his dad Jon, former head of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. 

Support act – Laura Sutcliffe @musicpoet_Laura

A folk musician and poet, Laura toured with the National Folk Ensemble in 2018 – 2019. Her original songs, poetry and art are inspired by the nature, wildlife and beauty of the uplands.
