ABOUT THE ACTS!
The Coaltown Daisies
The Coaltown Daisies – an acoustic duo who promise dynamic folk, soul and Americana music. Their new record invokes the likes of Gillian Welch and Steve Earle and is a delight from start to finish. With testimonies from the likes of Glenn Tilbrook and Boo Hewerdine this was always going to be an album that was potentially going to have a lot to offer. A collection of tunes that are, frankly, inescapable and impossible to dislike married to beautiful harmonies and lyrics that, at times, will give you pause to stop and think.
Ella Munro
Ella Munro is a young singer hailing from the Isle of Skye. Ella’s passion for both traditional and contemporary music can be seen in her varied repertoire of Scots songs by the likes of Dick Gaughan and Adam MacNaughton (to name but a few) to her self-penned songs, rapidly gaining awareness in the folk scene. With Aidan Moodie (Gnoss), guitar and Sam Mabbet (Northern Company), accordian.
