A finalé feast of fantastically talented artists across a wide genre of music! Featuring the beautiful flute and ambient rythmns of SYŁVA; the melodic soulful songs of Hattie Whitehead; the uplifting folk-tinged anthems of the Boundless Brothers and joyful folk hiphop from CoCo and the Butterfields. Very Tasty indeed...
London based ambient alt-rock band SYŁVA is the project of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sylva Faye. Starting out as a session flautist, Sylva has played flute for household names, and previous EPs have had exposure from BBC Introducing, the BBC6 Mixtape, Demon FM, K2K Radio and the Hype Machine. Sylva has recently formed an exciting 6-piece band of fantastically-talented musicians including sax, keys, guitars and percussion to complement her virtuoso flute. Really looking forward to this one...
Hattie Whitehead
We are more than a little excited that the wonderfully-talented Hattie Whitehead and her band will be joining us. Inspired by the earlier sounds of folk artists such as James Taylor, Nick Drake, John Martyn and Joni Mitchell, this London based artist is distinguished by the purity of her vocal tones and crystal clear delivery, her experience of playing, singing and listening to folk, jazz, soul, alternative and many more genres has led Hattie to develop a style that is melodic, soulful, heartfelt and often unpredictable. A real treat...
Really pleased to introduce Cornish folk pop band Boundless Brothers who produce uplifting catchy folk-tinged anthems with a characteristic banjo twang and distictive vocal harmonies - a joyful sound which has been honed over the past years in many venues and festivals across the southwest under their previous name of Blue Horyzon. These 4 wholesome lads from way-out-west have a growing following and a bright future.
Yay! Really delighted to have everybody's favourite Folk Hip Hop band CoCo & the Butterfields join us this summer - "Colourful, energetic & crowd-stamping, CoCo and the Butterfields express all the fun and vibrance of a village folk fair, throwing in powerful vocals and a beatbox to deliver catchy songs resonating in a stadium-filling pop and urban rap vibe. Yet the atmosphere is intimate, popular with audiences of all ages. The uniquely styled music transcends genre, skipping right to the part where people start dancing. CoCo and the Butterfields are on a mission to bring people from all backgrounds together, to have a good time!"
