We'll be welcoming back Harry Thorpe and Sean Morrison in 2024. They are an innovative and energetic folk duo based in Birmingham and formed out of Joe Broughton’s Conservatoire Folk Ensemble in 2019 while studying at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. They've been making a name for themselves on the folk scene in England and have toured to much critical acclaim. Festival appearances include Towersey Festival, Moseley Folk Festival and here of course.

“The energy of their Birmingham made Anglo-Scottish musicianship is palpable. Fiddle and guitar notes float around each other, creating a spellbinding mix of old and modern, both traditional and forward looking”

Bright Young Folk

Harry Thorpe and Sean Morrison are committed folk musicians who have drawn from their diverse musical backgrounds to create music that both respects the traditions it comes from while still exploring the potential for it’s progression. From Suffolk and Scotland respectively, they now combine these traditions.

Sean is also doing a Folk DJ set on Saturday. He's explored a wide variety of art forms and sounds in his career so far and this has become something that defines his DJ sets. Expect sounds from every corner of the globe, fused with electronic grooves and percussive rhythms.
