Great first evening at the Cottingham Folk Festival

Confirmed for 2025 - @MadDogMcrea From self-penned songs of adventure, drinking, love and life, to traditional songs of gypsies, fairies, legless pirates and black flies – Mad Dog never fail to capture their audience with their infectious songs.

Confirmed for 2025 - @Sandi_Thom With a voice that echoes the soulful resonance of Americana and the gritty authenticity of folk-rock, Sandi Thom captivates audiences with her raw talent and emotive storytelling.

Confirmed for 2025 - @SandrasWedding Drawing comparisons with iconic northern guitar bands like The Housemartins and The Smiths, Sandra’s Wedding are a Goole-based band who wear their working class routes firmly on their sleeves.

Confirmed for 2025 - LAWZIE UK-based indie Americana singer-songwriter with a voice that cuts straight to the heart. Rooted in raw honesty, grungy soul, and fearless vulnerability, her music blends confessional storytelling with powerful vocals and haunting melodic hooks.

Confirmed for 2025 - @HanGraceMusic Hannah Grace writes songs to escape into - and she wants you to escape with her. She uniquely blends the sounds of soul, jazz, and folk with a voice that can seemingly sing anything.

Confirmed for 2025 - @msimpsonian One of England’s most revered folk performers, widely acknowledged as one of the finest acoustic and slide guitar players in the world, Martin's interpretations of traditional songs are masterpieces of storytelling.

Confirmed for 2025 - @thestaves The Staves are sisters Jessica and Camilla Staveley-Taylor from Watford. Having recently released their fourth album ‘All Now’, the duo are bringing their indie-folk sounds to Cottingham this summer.

Confirmed for 2025 - Hardy & Hetherington Wholesome and playful, spacious and tasteful. Joyful tendencies and memorable melodies. Hardy & Hetherington bring a pretty blend of influences such as Blues, Folk-pop and Country, all played intimately with two voices and two guitars.
