The Willows
The Willows are a folk band from Cambridge, UK. Their first album Beneath Our Humble Soil was nominated for Best Debut in the Spiral Earth Awards 2014, and has been championed by the likes of Bob Harris and Mike Harding. The much anticipated follow-up Amidst Fiery Skies, co-produced with Sean Lakeman was released to critical aclaim, with The Telegraph hailing it "a triumph" in a 5-star review and a place in their folk albums of 2014. Fronted by the breathtaking vocals of Jade Rhiannon, supported by rich vocal harmonies and dynamic acoustic musicianship the band take influence from folk traditions on both sides of the Atlantic

Sharon Lewis
Much revered for her tender and heartfelt songs, enchanting songstress Sharon Lewis weaves a rare and compelling spell with delicate vocals and piano/guitar playing.
Formerly of the highly regarded female duo Pooka, whose union spanned a decade releasing four albums and several EPs to great acclaim ('so fine, it's almost worrying!' **** Q Magazine). Sharon has enjoyed a diverse musical career writing and recording with eclectic artists such as Orbital (Middle Of Nowhere) and 1 Giant Leap (What About Me?) which featured artists such as Michael Stipe and KD Lang; she also performed alongside Ani Difranco and Martin Carthy in Anais Mitchell's brilliant Folk Opera 'Hadestown'.
Sharon is now promoting her most recent album en-titled Roses At The Top - a gentle and poignant work that takes the listener on an emotional journey through the hearts shadowy valleys and rising mists up to the top of the mountain where wild roses are rumoured to grow. Themes of love, longing and transformation take precedence.
