30/11 The Brothers Gillespie
Northumbrian siblings The Brothers Gillespie harmonious tones are amplified by their dexterous finger picking and emotive style.

“Anyone who has seen the brothers live will surely attest that it is an experience that will stay with you. There is a feeling of warmth that exudes from them and affects everyone in the room.” – Nygel Packett, Folk London
They will be proceeded by sublime support acts Firewoodisland and Jess Breame.
