"You guys absolutely rock," - BBC Radio 3

Blending ancient folk traditions with a bold contemporary flair, Wise Woman arrives with a heady collision of lush vocal harmonies, cinematic strings and 90s girl power. The group's "startling and shimmering" (Folk Wales) blend of folk, jazz, and musical theatre sounds has enchanted audiences far and wide, from Radio 3 to Celtic Connections to Secret Garden Party. Spinning tales on diverse subjects such as fenland witches, environmental activists and drag artists, powerful lyrics and captivating storytelling transports audiences on a unique and transformative musical journey.

This tour celebrates their upcoming EP "Hold The Wonder" (March 2025), which centres the band's mesmerising acappella sounds with original songs of protest, personal discovery and perhaps a dash of shapeshifting.

Loam

Loam are an emerging female duo who sing elegant, original folk music.

What started out as a way for housemates Sadie Poole Zane and Beatrice Convert to explore songwriting and musical experimentation, Loam have risen quickly within Bristol's folk bubble to an in demand attache to various events, themed evenings, or calm summer garden nights.

With a gentle poeticism of lyric and a delicate hand, Loam conjure a new kind of gently produced folk very much theirs yet still within the lineage of English folk tradition.
