Description

Lonan are a Yorkshire-based folk trio.

They weave together compelling narrative tales and energetic jigs and reels, drawing on contemporary issues as well as local tradition. The band brings
together the varied musical backgrounds of Robin Timmis (guitar, fiddle, vocals), Katy Ryder (flute, whistles, vocals) and Evan Davies (mandolin, fiddle, vocals) whose other projects currently include The Often Herd (Winners of the European band contest ? La Roche Bluegrass Festival 2018), klezmer band Kibitz, and the Captain Bullhead Ceilidh band.

Their first single 'Following Orders' was released in April 2021 and, in keeping with the theme of the song, raised money for the Leeds homeless charity St George's Crypt.

Lonan are currently touring their debut album ?Forever Has Flown?, which was released in August 2021 to a sold-out launch show at Seven Arts, Leeds. The album was recorded at home when the band were living together during the first UK lockdown. Due to the landlord selling the property, the band sadly had to vacate. Katy?s paintings of the house became the cover art for the album,
and ?Forever Has Flown? an homage to all the fantastic creative and community projects which stemmed from this house over the last 10 ? 15 years.

"Wonderful vocal harmonies, delicate arrangements and slick musicianship. With bags of personality and an infectious passion for great folk music, Lonan are a trio not to be missed!? - Marc, MEWL Music.
