Will Finn and Rosie Calvert are an award-winning husband-and-wife duo who came together through their love of music. First coming to prominence with their acapella quartet The Teacups, the pair perform traditional and contemporary folk music with vibrancy and flair - intricate harmonies; the rousing instrumentation of piano, steel pan, and ukulele; and joyful, warm stage presence.
Graduates of their native Newcastle’s Folk and Traditional Music degree, Rosie and Will’s music combines influences ranging from old English ballads to gothic Americana, but they are most defined by their spell-binding harmonies. With only two voices, their arrangements have been described as “deceptively full”, and their joy in singing is infectious - chorus songs abound and singing along is encouraged! Audiences are immediately put at their ease by the pair’s inviting stage presence and warm banter, and the duo rise to ever greater heights with their second studio album. Their musical chemistry and virtuosity have matured and developed, creating a transformative and evocative sound that leaves listeners eager for more.
“There is easy delight here but most of all there is infectious joy…A varied and engaging stream of acappella tracks and cleverly-crafted ensemble pieces. I can recommend singing along to this album – really! I’ve tried it!” - Spiral Earth
“Intense, glorious… enchanting. MUST LISTEN” - Folk London
“Sparkling… as per the title, it really does work it’s transformative magic” Bright Young Folk
“The sense of intelligent cause woven through the dramatic, soaring, intellectually driven songs from Will Finn & Rosie Calvert in their superb new album Fallow Alchemy… measured but emotionally direct… delicious harmony” - Liverpool Sound and Vision
