Seb Stone is a young folk singer who has quickly made a name for himself on the folk scene, earning recognition as the 2022 winner of Bromyard Folk Festival’s Future of Young Folk Award. Hailing from Sheffield, he draws on a varied repertoire of traditional English and Irish songs and his distinctive voice captures their essence, imbuing them with a sense of history and authenticity. Seb’s ability to convey the stories and emotions behind these songs is enhanced by his skilful musical accompaniment on the uilleann pipes and whistle. This unusual combination creates a powerful and evocative listening experience that sets Seb apart from other young artists in the genre.
