Event information

In an exciting new collaboration between two leading lights of their generation of traditional singers, George Sansome (Granny’s Attic) and Matt Quinn (Dovetail Trio) sing traditional folk songs from the British Isles, both unaccompanied, and accompanied by mandolin and guitar.

Their well-blended voices and close harmonies create a warm, enthralling sound and their English folk instrumental styles complement each other perfectly. Quinn is known for his solo work focusing on traditional songs from Sussex, and is a skilled performer with a distinctive voice and sprightly mandolin style. Sansome, who also performs solo, is a deft guitarist with a rich, sweet voice. Their debut album, Sheffield Park, was released in 2023.

“Reliably excellent” – Bright Young Folk

“Supremely skilled, stylish, nimble and highly musical” – Living Tradition

“Great harmonies, superb musicianship, and a clear delight in the songs” – Tradfolk

“Quintessential traditional folk” – Bright Young Folk
