Granny's Attic

Event information

Rescheduled date from 2024.

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 since 2009. They are much loved by audiences up and down
the country, with bookings everywhere from Cambridge Folk Festival 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 their latest album, The Brickfields,
an instrumental collection that sees 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.
