With a passion for folk music, Si Barron has been singing and playing nationally for 15 years. He is a fine interpreter of traditional songs which he complements with creative guitar accompaniments, alternating with some lovely harmonium playing. His repertoire also includes excellent original songs based on stories from his former home county, Devon. Si plays and sings with great integrity and skill; his crystal clear voice and relaxed style win over his audience with virtuoso musicianship, intriguing stories and good humour.
‘Si Barron left us all spellbound with his staggering guitar skills, great songs well sung, his humour and sheer quality performance throughout.’(Nova Scotia Folk Club, Bristol)
‘Si Barron is doing for the 2020s what Nic Jones did for the 1970s by taking the traditional English song repertoire and tying it to crisp, flawless guitar parts that are, in themselves, masterclasses in how to simultaneously play fingerstyle chord and melody lines.’ (FATEA Magazine)

WEDNESDAY 14th OCTOBER SEB STONE
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.
‘His unique blend of instruments and voice creates a sound that is both hauntingly beautiful and richly textured’ (Bromyard Folk Festival)
