Vicki Swan and Jonny Dyer

Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer effortlessly blend traditional material with contemporary sounds. Their performances showcase new interpretations of old songs alongside original self penned tunes and new songs that are entirely at home in the tradition.


Be entranced by the haunting nyckelharpa, amazed at the cow horn (one of the worlds earliest communication devices) and meet some of the bagpipes that didn’t come from Scotland.


Their evenings are packed with toe-tapping tunes and songs of love, death, dancing  and dressing up all presented with humour, smiles and skilful musicianship.

Skinner and T'witch

Just for a change, have a bit of a laugh. Skinner & Twitch are a duo who produce original songs which, let’s face it, are not really folk, but once you edge away from the traditional, the boundaries get fuzzier and anyway, many of the traditional songs were intended to raise a laugh. It's not all laughs, but prepare to be thoroughly entertained with plenty of audience participation.


What their website says: “Skinner & T’witch! A Leeds based duo performing folk, flamenco and theatre style songs, with driving rhythms, intense harmonies and inspiring lyrics.”
