About
In an un-missable one-off collaboration, five of the English folk scene’s most inventive artists bring you ‘Awake Arise – A Christmas Show For Our Times’, celebrating the riches of our varied winter traditions and reflecting upon the hope and resilience in music and song that can bring joy to us all in the darkest season.
Award winning trio Lady Maisery (Hannah James, Rowan Rheingans and Hazel Askew) have for nearly a decade produced ‘some of the most exquisite, thrilling vocal harmony work in the English folk scene’ (The Guardian).
This year Awake Arise will have a slightly different line-up. Sid Goldsmith is on tour in the US with a Wise Children/National Theatre production of Wuthering Heights. He will be greatly missed but will be ably replaced by Kit Hawes. Kit is a wonderful musician and great friend who has slotted straight into the band. He is best known for his duo with Aaron Catlow and the John Martyn Project, but has also played with Seth Lakeman, Sheelanagig and many more.
