We are delighted to welcome THE WILDERNESS YET to Otley Music Festival to headline our Friday night session in the wonderful setting of Otley Parish Church. Expect outstanding musicianship and pitch-perfect harmonies.

The Wilderness Yet comprises of folksinger Rosie Hodgson (finalist for the BBC Young Folk Award), traditional fiddler Rowan Piggott (winner of the ?Future of Young Folk Award? at Bromyard Folk Festival), and guitarist-flautist Philippe Barnes. Independently, they have earned audiences? esteem as consummate musicians; together, they weave an eclectic tapestry of
traditional and original songs and tunes; from a cappella three-part harmonies to luscious instrumental arrangements.

From the great whales of the deep to the old oaks of the land, the future of the natural world is now inextricably bound to that of mankind and many of the songs chosen or crafted for this ?timeless and heady mix of traditions? (Folk Radio UK) explore the relationship between humanity and nature. All three musicians are clearly steeped in traditional music, but also have unique creative voices, with original tracks written by each of them. An album with which to explore the world?s stories, seasons, and sorrows ? in a time of disconnection from each other and our environment, this collection won?t fall on deaf ears.

artwork... autumnal and rustic...? ? Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2

finely poised a cappella singing." ? The Scotsman ????

recordings released this year..."? From The Margins
