8-9pm FILKIN'S DRIFT
One of the UK’s fastest rising folk groups, Filkin’s Drift combine the traditional and the contemporary through their blend of fiddle, guitar, and close vocal harmonies. Seth Bye and Chris Roberts have earned widespread acclaim with extensive national airtime on BBC Radio 2, 3, 4, 6 Music, and BBC World Service. Renowned for their live performances, characterised as ‘utterly mesmerizing’ (Bristol 24⁄7) and ‘hugely entertaining’ (RnR), the duo have enchanted audiences across the UK. Their compositions are sophisticated, yet rooted in tradition, spanning delicate Welsh folk-songs to traditional English dance tunes. Set-up around a single microphone, Seth and Chris entertain audiences with original tunes, traditional songs, and stories of life as a musician.
