A host of names added to the bill

We have just confirmed a long list of exciting new acts for GTSF.


Starting with a new project from long-time GTSF favourite and BBC Folk Award winner Greg Russell, with Danny Pedler: Field & Dyke. a project combining traditional music with the sounds of industry.

Then there's The Wilderness Yet: this new trio combines the acclaimed talents of folksinger Rosie Hodgson, traditional fiddler Rowan Piggott, and guitarist-flautist Philippe Barnes. Together, they weave a tapestry of traditional & self-penned songs with a charm and familiarity that is usually only found in seasoned line-ups.​

The Last Inklings create music that inspires wonder and intrigue through songwriting, stories and soundscapes.

Two ceilidh bands Rum Ram Ruff and Frog on a Bike will get you dancing - and we have a Beatles ceilidh too!

Keith Donnelly makes a welcome return - as usual popping up to keep the proceedings going across the weekend.

Iona Lane, a young, upcoming folk singer and musician who is currently studying for a Folk degree at Leeds College of Music under the tuition of Jim Moray, Nancy Kerr and Bryony Griffith. Here with her band on Saturday and solo on Sunday.

And two up-and-coming stars - enthusiastic, energetic traditional folk duo formed out of Joe Broughton’s Conservatoire Folk Ensemble: Thorpe & Morrison
