Granny's Attic

Event information

Rosslyn Court is co hosting this event with ARK, a community venue round the corner from us which seats 120 people.

With exceptional musicianship and boundless energy, Granny’s Attic are going from strength to strength. Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne (melodeon, anglo concertina, vocals), George Sansome (guitar, vocals) and Lewis Wood (violin, vocals) have honed their skills touring the UK and Europe. They are much loved by audiences up and down the country, with bookings everywhere from Cambridge Folk Festival and beyond to Cecil Sharp House.
The trio have been heralded for their lively performances and skilled delivery of traditional material, playing with verve, energy and their own inimitable style. Though grounded in tradition, they are keen to push new boundaries by exploring fresh approaches and writing their own compositions. In October 2021, they released an album, The Brickfields, an instrumental collection that saw them reach new heights both as performers and composers. Described by Folk Radio as “one of the most exciting and accomplished English folk acts on the scene right now”, this outstanding trio can hold audiences in the palm of their hand.
"Their high-octane take on English folk has brought a whole new audience to the genre."
The Irish Times
"High quality folk songs."
Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music
"Great tunes, great energy, great arrangements, great stuff!"
Jon Boden
"Traditional folk music taken far beyond its parameters."

This is the third time Granny's Attic have played in Cliftonville and I am looking forward to it immensely. Their final concert at Broadstairs 2023 was the most enjoyable concert I have ever been to.
