@midnightskyracer is a girl power bluegrass band from the UK. Hard driving original, traditional and modern bluegrass with attitude.
Their all star lineup and exciting live performances have sent them racing skywards with Leanne Thorose’s powerhouse vocals and driving mandolin; Tabitha Agnew’s sweet voice and virtuosic banjo playing; Eleanor Wilkie’s rock solid bass grooves; Laura Carrivick’s flair, being equally adept on both fiddle and dobro; and twin sister Charlotte’s agility on the guitar, with both sisters filling in the vocal harmonies. “…these varied aspects of their musical personalities contribute to the
greater good of a band playing for the song, for the singer, for the music.”
Ron Block (Alison Krauss & Union Station, Franklin, Tennessee)

In February 2018 they released their critically acclaimed debut album, Fire. Most recently, the band became the first UK band to gain recognition in the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Momentum awards with a nomination for best band as well as Tabitha receiving a nomination in the instrumentalist category.

Playing at Towersey on Saturday 29th August .... day tickets just £50 and selling fast. Ticket link in bio ☝

@lauracortese & the Dance Cards are an indie-folk band made up of four singing string players. "Ambition often follows talent, and Laura Cortese has an embarrassment of both. Her open-armed approach to her art reveals a determination to spread the word about folk music and dance without watering down their distinctiveness."
- John Wenzel, The Denver Post

Laura Cortese has a vision for her band's sound: bold and elegant, schooled in the lyrical rituals of folk music and backed by grooves that alternately inspire Cajun two-stepping and rock-n-roll hip swagger. It's appropriate then that the quartet, featuring Cortese, call themselves Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards.
The Dance Cards’ sound moves seamlessly from gauzy, ethereal vocal harmonies to rowdy indie-rock percussion to propulsive fiddle melodies directly from Appalachia or Scotland.
“Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards are pushing the envelope as a band, subtly, skillfully and beautifully playing their own wild cards.” - fRoots Magazine “Laura Cortese and the Dance Cards create a stunning, forward-looking sound that charts a path for innovation in folk music.” - PopMatters

Catch a little taster in the video below and then come and see them live at Towersey on Friday 28th August. Tickets from just £45. - link in bio ☝

‘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 ‘She’s the urgent, pulsing, compassionate talent this world desperately needs.’ The Observer

She is @gracepetriemusic , a folk singer-songwriter, guitarist and activist from Leicester. And she will take to the Towersey stage on 31st August Bank Holiday Monday.
Her 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.
She has been writing, recording and touring relentlessly for 10 years. She’s toured with Frank Turner and Billy Bragg, supported comedians Robin Ince and Josie Long, and collaborated with Leon Rosselson and Peggy Seeger.
Her current album, ‘Queer As Folk’, was crowdfunded, reaching it's target in less than 24 hours. It was released in Sept ’18 and was a Mojo magazine top 10 Folk Album of the Year. 'With her mix of English folk and singer-songwriter roots with a punk attitude, her ultra-political songs in defence of butch lesbians, transfolk, the welfare state and the young and angry gave visions of a millennial’s Billy Bragg. With a stand-up’s wit and defiant but cautiously optimistic lyrics, her set prompted tears, fury and joy from this reviewer.’ Songlines review
