Apple Trio are a vocal trio based in Oxford who sing a cappella arrangements of both traditional and contemporary songs. Described as ?shiver-making?, their three distinctive voices complement each other in a magical way, bringing an eclectic repertoire of songs to life with sensitivity and charm.
Owl Light Trio are Jim Penny on concertina, Jane Griffiths on fiddle and viola, and Colin Fletcher on guitar. All three musicians have deep roots in traditional music, share a passion for tunes from Ireland, the UK and Brittany, and draw upon their combined influences to create complex, compelling and heartfelt arrangements. Between them they have performed and recorded with Maddy Prior, Nancy Kerr, Tim van Eyken, Red Dog Green Dog, and Duotone. Owl Light Trio has performed at Gower, Oxford, Purbeck Valley, Sidmouth, Shrewsbury, and Klangrausch folk festivals and the Nest Collective?s Campfire Club. The trio released their second album ?Sound into Light? on 1 May 2024 to glowing reviews: ?Beautifully played, full of tunes to dance to and brimming with charm?. (Tradfolk)
