Priddy Folk Festival

Get ready for some Friday Night Fever from the effervescent Arthur and Kerran!

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. 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.

“Ambitious, infectious and fiery – they take the sounds of traditional melodies and rhythms into a powerful new direction all of their own” – Folk and Honey

Introducing Nancy Kerr and James Fagan - one of the most beloved and enduring acts in British folk.

Twice winners of “Best Duo” at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, they combine stunning vocals and stellar instrumentation on fiddle, guitar and bouzouki with Nancy’s insightful and poetic lyrics. They have brought joy, inspiration and some memorably energetic arrangements to global audiences since their fortuitous meeting in 1995.

They will be playing our Swildon’s stage on Sunday 12 July, and you can be sure that, from traditional ballads and fiery Northumbrian fiddle tunes, through to some of Nancy’s most popular originals like “Queen of Waters”, “Dark Honey”, “I Am The Fox”, and Australian classics like “Anderson’s Coast” and “The Drover’s Boy”, this set will cover the great dynamic and thematic range for which Nancy and James are so admired.

We still have some weekend tickets available so stop hanging around and nab some either from the link above or try: https://www.priddyfolk.org/get-tickets/
