Described by Bright Young Folk as “experienced storytellers” who bring “timeless quality” to their music, award-winning duo Farefeld (Chris Elliott, Caitlin Jones) have been playing music together since they met in 2014. Previously performing alongside Bella Gaffney (Magpies) and Heather Sirrell (Pilgrim’s Way) in the four-piece ‘Bric-a-Brac,’ they formed as a duo in 2017.

In 2022, the duo joined forces with virtuoso bassist Mike Seal, who gigs with them as much as he can (when he’s not doing something very clever!)

Both proudly from Staffordshire, Farefeld bring a mix of traditional and self-penned ballads about place, identity, old and new. Driving guitar and bouzouki accompany haunting whistles and harmonium along with intricate and warm vocal harmonies. Expect to hear songs written for and collected from all around the Midlands and beyond, accompanied by the heartfelt human stories that inspired them, their charming storytelling and warm Midlands humour.

Mean Mary’s Woman Creature Tour: An Evening of Fast-Picking Fun

Join Mean Mary, along with her brother Frank James, for an unforgettable night of music on her Woman Creature tour. This dynamic duo brings a blend of harmonies, fast-picking, and a dash of humour. Expect to hear crowd favourites like “Iron Horse” and “Blazing,” as well as new hits like “Tarzan” and the title track “Woman Creature” from her latest album.

Mean Mary, an award-winning musician and writer with over 35 million views on her YouTube videos, has captivated audiences since her childhood days playing for tips on the streets of Nashville. Described by The Tennessean as having “startling talent” and by No Depression as possessing “the voice of a ragged angel combined with the banjo playing of the Devil,” Mary is a seasoned performer with over 4000 festivals and concerts under her belt.

Named Deering Banjos’ Goodtime Ambassador, Mary’s banjo playing is known to give chills, as noted by Janet Deering herself. Equally adept on the guitar, fiddle, and eight other instruments, Mary’s lightning-fast fingers, haunting vocals, and intricate storytelling make her performances truly unique. Whether it’s ghost pirates or demon guitars, you never know what fascinating tales will unfold in a Mean Mary show. Prepare for a high-energy evening filled with guitar, banjo, fiddle, and upbeat rhythms!

Award-winning musician/writer and fan favourite (over 34 million views on her YouTube videos), Mean Mary, literally grew-up in music. She evolved from a child prodigy who played for tips on the streets of Nashville (“startling talent” said the Tennessean) to a seasoned performer and headliner of over 4000 festivals and concerts (“the voice of a ragged Angel combined with the banjo playing of the Devil” says No Depression).
