An evening with Good Habits at Cafe No9

Event information

Being ‘happily stranded’ in New Zealand in 2020 launched Good Habits’ full-time musical adventure, and their joyous genre-fusion has received international critical acclaim and has seen them become rising stars in the UK indie-folk scene. Including performances at Glastonbury and WOMAD; tours throughout the UK, EU and Australasia; and a charting Top 40 Folk Charts album.

"Pinpoint precision vocals, hard-rocking accordion, and great acoustic grooves. English folk musicianship at its 21st-century best." - Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music

Composed of Bonnie Schwarz (cello + vocals) and Pete Shaw (accordion + synths + perc), the pair mix revved-up virtuosity and harmony with vivid storytelling, drawing on their diverse musical tastes and weaving them into an action-packed narrative of genre-bending goodness.

At the end of 2021, they returned to the UK from NZ for new beginnings, and since have spread their music throughout Europe with their continued momentum and have developed a loyal fanbase. After winning awards for their unique blend of indie and folk, they released their latest album “Quarter-Life” in 2024 which charted in the Top 40 Official Folk Charts and received multiple 5* reviews and radio play across BBC Radio, The Morning Star, Songlines and internationally.
