Arthur Coates & Kerran Cotterell are a two-man trad tornado tearing through the
folk world with foot percussion, fiddle, guitar, vocals, and groove to spare.
Musically, they straddle tradition and mischief, with one foot in the folk archive and
the other slipping into a psychedelic sock.
Arthur, a fiddler raised in Aberdeenshire, builds rolling, riff-heavy tunes rooted in
Scottish tradition. Kerran, a melodic schemer from Cumbria, draws on pop and
choral training to weave in crisp harmonies and satisfying twists. Expect trad
turned sideways, storytelling with a twist, and just enough mischief to keep things
interesting.
As Folkworld put it, their sound is “powerful and dark, fresh and fun”
