The Buffalo Gals

The Buffalo Gals are fast becoming the country’s favourite old-time country string band. Firmly rooted in traditional Americana music, with an authentic sound driven by fiddle, banjo, percussive step dance, and soaring harmonies, they produce an irresistible show packed with all the excitement, passion and fun of Appalachian, Bluegrass, Blues and Cajun tunes and songs.

A Different Thread

British-Americana troubadours A Different Thread create a richly emotive tapestry of transatlantic folk and roots. Lead singers Robert Jackson (Midlands, UK) and Alicia Best (North Carolina) first met busking in Ireland. Their chance encounter sparked a musical journey that has spanned over nine years, a dozen countries, and three studio albums— capturing the love of two folk singers chasing their dreams on the road.
