Sean Spicer is a harmonicist, whistler and flautist from Bristol, performing largely in the English and Irish traditions. Sean specifically aims through his performance to explore and propagate the English harmonica tradition, and is recognised as a modern-day proponent of traditional English harmonica in Roger Trobridge’s online archive.

Danny Marshall, Elye Cuthbertson and Mia Iles Perez

Hailing from various corners of London, the East Corner Trio create a unique sound through their eclectic musical influences and unusual combination of melodeon, banjolin, and flute and pipes.

Seb Stone

Seb Stone is a traditional singer, whistle player and uilleann piper from the Peak District. In 2022 he won the Future of Folk Award and Shantyman of the Year Award at Bromyard Folk Festival.
