3 Daft Monkeys

With Celtic and Eastern influences, the 3 Daft Monkeys’ dynamic style of world folk music reflects the global village in which we now live. Their infectious dancing rhythms lead you through a musical journey of the senses and emotions and will leave you breathless, enthralled, and exhilarated.

After experiencing the band’s notoriously energetic live performances at Glastonbury Festival, Mark Radcliffe declared them as one of his “Highlights of the Festival” on BBC TV coverage and subsequently invited them to play a session on his BBC Radio 2 Folk Show. The band has also performed a live session with Whispering Bob Harris on Radio 2.
 
Remorae

Remorae is an interdisciplinary collective of artists brought together by the Folkatron Sessions recording project (featured by Songlines Magazine, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 2, 6 Music, Soho Radio, and Folk Radio UK). Exploring traditional musics through experimental processes, their EP Flourish in Green (2024) is the culmination of many years of playing with musical forms and modes of collaboration in unique constellations of artists, and represents a pivot-point in the group’s creative practice, re-centring improvisation and live performance.

Described as ‘eclectic’, ‘genre-bending’, and ‘an English Lankum’, Remorae intertwines strings, close harmony vocals, and electric guitar with live electronics to create soundworlds that shift between ambient, pulsing, cinematic and intimate, sometimes shimmering and glitching, sometimes raw and strange.
 
Brazen

An all-new, all-female brass band. Playing feel-good tunes you can sing along to. Bringing together female performers from every corner of the UK, showcasing women in the music industry and inspiring future generations of women to start making music together.
