About "Harp Haven"
An hour of scintillating music for the soul, performed on lever harp by Lauren Scott.
“Pre-eminently thoughtful and compelling, she draws sounds of deep soulfulness and will-o-the-wisp rustlings. Her Lever Harp sings sweetly and the recording is beautifully judged." BBC Music Magazine

About "Filkin's Drift"
One of the UK’s fastest rising folk groups, Filkin’s Drift combine the traditional and the contemporary through their blend of fiddle, guitar, and close vocal harmonies. They weave together folklore from their homes, Wales and Gloucestershire, in performances that are “utterly mesmerising” (Bristol 24/7). Set-up around a single microphone, Seth and Chris entertain audiences with original tunes, traditional songs, and stories of life as a musician.

The pair have toured across the British Isles and Europe. Performances include Glastonbury Festival, and the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony live on BBC1.
