A WINTER UNION

£25 (£23 concessions | £10 Under 35s)
Hailed by Folk on Foot’s Matthew Bannister as “a festive folk supergroup” and “just fantastic” by Katie Derham on BBC Radio 3’s In Tune, five leading lights of the UK folk scene have been reconvening each December to share their joyous Christmas party with audiences across the country since their initial one-off pilot in 2015. Expect reimagined Winter classics from both sides of the Atlantic, some little known Yuletide gems, and plenty of songs direct from the pen of these five critically acclaimed songwriters.
“Wonderful…a perfect seasonal musical present!” Laurel Canyon Music
“Wonderful and hugely talented! They played a stunning festive set, mixing traditional Christmas songs with an added blue grass lilt!” Folking.com
“A Winter Union, a folk supergroup of sorts, featuring two established duos, Katriona Gilmore & Jamie Roberts, Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage, along with the superb singer Jade Rhiannon from The Willows, did this to the nth degree by reworking several seasonal songs during their impressive Saturday afternoon set.” Northern Sky @ Great British Folk Festival 2018
