As we keep announcing great new artists for Towersey 2020, we are aware that some of you might not be familiar with some of them and their music. So we have created a series of introductory videos to give you a little taster.
First up is @katerusby. Forever proud to call herself a folk singer, Kate’s beautiful, expressive vocals never fail to connect the emotional heart of a song to that of her audience. The crossover appeal Kate enjoys is unprecedented for a folk singer and has been achieved without resort to compromise.

Adult day tickets just £50 to see Kate, @hackneycolliery, @lwmvc, @ranagri and many more still to be announced.
Or join us for the whole weekend from just £144.

Finishing of the introductions to our initial confirmed line-up, (just before we let you in on some more names) we have @hackneycolliery

Since the release of their eponymous debut album in 2011, the East London collective have blown their way into the public consciousness with their genre-bending combination of brass, reeds, percussion and electronics, firmly establishing themselves as one of the most exciting live bands in the UK.

With a set list as diverse as the borough which gave them their name, expect an eclectic and completely unique mix of dance floor-filling contemporary rock, jazz, soul and electronica. Delicate one minute, powerfully energetic the next and always concluding in a huge party, an HCB show is as exciting as it is memorable. "One of the greatest live bands we have in this country" - BBC Radio 2
"Clever, and enormous fun" - Guardian
"An ingenious blend of showmanship and intelligence" - Sunday Times
"This is the most enjoyable, fun music that I know of" - Observer, UK

This Is The Kit is the nom de plume of Kate Stables, Now four albums in the story of This Is The Kit is itself one of time and change and listeners.
@thisisthekit create something quite mesmerising, a sound seemingly unbound by time or place. Kate Stables has long been an exceptional songwriter, but with Moonshine Freeze, This Is The Kit’s Rough Trade debut, comes the thrilling sensation of an artist truly finding her voice: as if these are the stories she has been waiting to tell, these the dark coves and shadowy glens she’s been longing to lead us through.

Next up on our confirmed 2020 line-up is @gracepetriemusic

Grace Petrie’s unique takes on life, love and politics, and the warmth and wit with which they are delivered, have won over an army of loyal fans across the alternative, folk, political and comedy scenes.
Her current album, ‘Queer As Folk’, was released in Sept ’18 and was a Mojo magazine top 10 Folk Album of the Year. ‘She’s the urgent, pulsing, compassionate talent this world desperately needs.’ The Observer ‘She writes the sort of songs you want to pin the lyrics of on your bedroom wall, or on the office door, to remind you and everyone else who might read them what is important and true’ Buzz Magazine

Her festival appearances have included Vancouver Folk Festival, Latitude, Cambridge Folk Festival and in 2019 she played The Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival.

We are delighted to have her with us at Towersey 2020 - tickets available online now - link in bio 👆

1969 could easily be said to be a vintage year for music, the end of a decade that changed the world and the introduction to one that would prove equally inspirational.
It would also see the birth of a band that would start as an idea to electrify traditional music and would go on to become one of the most enduring stories in the folk world and beyond.
One of the most influential names in British roots music, @steeleye_span changed the face of folk music forever, taking it out of small clubs and into the world of gold discs and international tours. Members have come and gone over the years, but Steeleye has always remained at the forefront of the genre they helped to define, and the band has become an institution in British music.

Fifty years on and Steeleye Span are set to mark this incredible milestone with new album EST’D 1969 and a tour that will celebrate a band that are as creative and vital now as ever.
Led by the iconic Maddy Prior, the seven-piece line-up will draw on the group’s incredible history to provide a night of favourites and surprises from down the decades.

Next up on our confirmed 2020 artists list ..... is @showofhandsmusic .... now as a four piece featuring @mirandajsykes and Cormac Byrne

Show of Hands fans rejoice as Steve Knightley and @philbeer , two undisputed kings of the folk, roots and acoustic scene reunite with long-term collaborator Miranda Sykes. Bass and vocal queen Sykes was much-missed during her recent sabbatical, and excitement is building around her return to the fold.

And there’s more, because the trio is expanding to include master percussionist Cormac Byrne who returns with his blistering additions by popular demand. There’s no doubt that Show of Hands the four-piece, now something of a supergroup, and their combined musicianship is guaranteed to sound nothing short of magical.

Steve says, “With the heartbeat and harmonies that Cormac and Miranda add, we are at last creating a sound we’ve dreamed of making for twenty-five years!”. Tickets available - link in bio 👆

Time to start introducing some of our 2020 line-up ...... first up @katerusby 💜

Forever proud to call herself a folk singer, Kate’s beautiful, expressive vocals never fail to connect the emotional heart of a song to that of her audience. The crossover appeal Kate enjoys is unprecedented for a folk singer and has been achieved without resort to compromise.

As early as 1999, aged just 26, Kate was named as one of the Top Ten Folk Voices of the Century. Everything she has done since has confirmed the foresight of those who bestowed that honour. From being a nominee for 1999’s Mercury prize – almost unheard of for a folk singer both then and now – for her stunningly assured second solo album, Sleepless, to 2016’s enthralling Life In A Paper Boat, Kate has stayed true to her folk and acoustic roots.

We are delighted to be able to announce Kate as one of the first confirmed acts at our new site.
