Granny's Attic

About

Join Granny's Attic as they teach you a song from their new album, "Cold Blows the Wind". Whether you're a seasoned folk singer, or just fancy trying your hand at something new, everyone is welcome for this fun and inclusive workshop. The workshop will run from 11am - 1pm with a short break halfway through.

With exceptional musicianship and boundless energy, Granny's Attic are going from strength to strength. Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne (melodeon, anglo concertina, vocals), George Sansome (guitar, vocals) and Lewis Wood (violin, vocals) have honed their skills touring the UK and Europe since 2009. They are much loved by audiences up and down the country, with bookings everywhere from Cambridge Folk Festival to Cecil Sharp House.

The trio have been heralded for their lively performances and skilled delivery of traditional material, playing with verve, energy and their own inimitable style. Though grounded in tradition, they are keen to push new boundaries by exploring fresh approaches and writing their own compositions. In October 2021, they released "The Brickfields", an instrumental collection which saw them reach new heights as both performers and composers. This year, they followed this up with "Cold Blows the Wind", which has gone down a storm with audiences and reviewers alike.

Described by Folk Radio as one of the most exciting and accomplished English folk acts on the scene right now, this outstanding trio can hold audiences in the palm of their hand.
