Arthur Coates & Kerran Cotterell are a two-man trad tornado tearing through the folk world with foot percussion, f iddle, guitar, vocals, and groove to spare. Mixing Scottish and English roots with modern flair, they deliver foot-stomping tunes, rich harmonies, and cheek and charm. Whether in a village hall or a festival field, their shows radiate connection and joy. Winners of the Robinson Emerging Artist Showcase at Canada’s Goderich Celtic Roots Festival, they’re fast becoming one of the scene’s most talked-about acts. Their upcoming album Controlled Burn turns tradition sideways - storytelling with soul, and grooves that smoulder, spark, and occasionally catch fire.
