“Great tunes, great energy, great arrangements, great stuff!” - Jon Boden
With exceptional musicianship and boundless energy, Granny’s Attic are going from strength to strength. Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne (melodeon, anglo concertina, vocals), George Sansome (guitar, vocals) and Lewis Wood (violin, vocals) have honed their skills touring the UK and Europe since 2009. They are much loved by audiences up and down the country, with bookings everywhere from Cambridge Folk Festival to Cecil Sharp House.
“A superb folk trio” - RNR Magazine
This special event will be held at St Leonard’s Church in Bridgnorth
Doors open at 6:45pm with the music starting at 7:30pm
The trio have been heralded for their lively performances and skilled delivery of traditional material, playing with verve, energy and their own inimitable style. Though grounded in tradition, they are keen to push new boundaries by exploring fresh approaches and writing their own compositions. In October 2021, they released their latest album, The Brickfields, an instrumental collection that sees them reach new heights both as performers and composers. Described by Folk Radio as “one of the most exciting and accomplished English folk acts on the scene right now”, this outstanding trio can hold audiences in the palm of their hand.
Support from Heather Ferrier
Heather Ferrier is returning to Bridgnorth, following her successful Shire Folk tour here back in March 2024, this time as support artist for Grannies Attic!
Heather’s captivating musicianship and unique sound is unapologetically her own, Heather
Ferrier is a force to be reckoned with. An “engaging talker and magnetic performer”
(NARC magazine), the Stockport born accordionist, clog dancer and composer is
changing the perceptions of alt-folk on her own terms. Bold, passionate and enthralling;
her EP, Engine for the Soul,has been played on BBC Radio 6 music, and well as being favourably
reviewed in local and national publications. We are thrilled to have Heather back in the Shires!
