FAREFELD
Described by Bright Young Folk as “experienced storytellers” who bring “timeless quality” to their music, award-winning duo Farefeld (Chris Elliott, Caitlin Jones) have been playing music together since they met in 2014. Previously performing alongside Bella Gaffney (Magpies) and Heather Sirrell (Pilgrim’s Way) in the four-piece ‘Bric-a-Brac,’ they formed as a duo in 2017.
Both proudly from Staffordshire, Farefeld bring a mix of traditional and self-penned ballads about place, identity, old and new. Driving guitar and bouzouki accompany haunting whistles and harmonium along with intricate and warm vocal harmonies. Expect to hear songs written for and collected from all around the Midlands and beyond, accompanied by the heartfelt human stories that inspired them, their charming storytelling and warm Midlands humour.
The Band of Pilgrims
Folk, Blues, gospel and original songs from a talented group of local musicians (Frank lives on the farm itself). A proper local and mellow start to the day on the main stage.
