Boldwood was formed in 2004 by accordionist Becky Price, who needed an ensemble to perform the fiddle repertoire she had been researching in little-known 18thC English publications and hand-written manuscripts in London libraries. The unusual line-up of accordion and 3 string-players is a surprisingly appropriate vehicle for the material, which comes from a golden age of English music when the worlds of folk and classical music happily co-existed and intermingled for arguably the last time.
All the members of Boldwood are classically trained with an additional grounding in traditional music and, since much of the music was originally intended for dancing, they bring these neglected musical gems to life with tremendous drive and energy. Their debut CD, Feet, Don't Fail Me Now, includes many previously unrecorded tunes.

Methera is a unique ensemble: a string quartet with roots planted in English traditional music. Their national tours, BBC Radio 3 broadcasts and collaborations have helped them establish a reputation as a scintillating live act, blazing a trail through the uncharted territory that lies between folk and chamber music.
Lucy Deakin (Cello), John Dipper and Emma Reid (fiddles) and Miranda Rutter (viola) combine a deep knowledge of traditional music with a wide range of other influences. Newly composed pieces sit alongside timeless traditional material; their music is both sophisticated and earthy, groundbreaking and familiar.

Early music ensemble Fleurs de Lys, Anne-Marie Summers, Charlotte Bulley and Helen Wilding, join forces with historian, singer and story-teller Thor Ewing to bring you songs of the Christmas Story; of pilgrimage and devotion; of dancing and celebration - all with exquisite vocal harmonies and accompanied on early instruments such as hurdy-gurdy, mediaeval fiddle, harp and pipes.
