Basset - 23-25 April 2026
“if you’re a lover of great close harmonies, like Simon and Garfunkel, or Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, I think you’re going to love this” - Tom Power, CBC
Canadian folk duo, Basset, are full of timeless heart, with deeply human lyrics and stunning duo harmonies reminiscent of the early folk revival. Their live performances are both sincere and disarmingly funny, with warmth enough to soothe anyone ready to lean in.
Their cinematic début album ‘In the Clay’ was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award, and earned nods from NPR and the CBC, plus a performance at Celtic Connections in 2024 and the Manchester Folk Festival in 2025. CBC’s Tom Power says, “if you’re a lover of great close harmonies, like Simon and Garfunkel, or Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, I think you’re going to love this”.
The band will land in the UK with their brand-new record, featuring some of the most honest and direct songs they have ever written, which seamlessly blend age-old stories and myths with everyday life.
