7th August (evening) 2023 at Ham Marquee, Sidmouth..
Sidmouth Folk Festival.
Country: Britain. Style: "Art Folk".
Lineup: Rachel Unthank (v/clog dancer), Becky Unthank (v/clog dancer), Adrian McNally (p/harmonium/v), Lizzie Jones (trumpet), Chris Price (g/b/bass g), Dan Rogers (b/bass g), Martin Douglas (d), Kath Ord (violin), Niopha Keegan (violin/v), Chrissie Slater (viola). Ele Leckie (cello).
I have now seen this band four times (if you include the Rachel Unthank and the Winterset phase) and took photos of the one before this in 2018: (
