This new trio combines the acclaimed talents of folksinger Rosie Hodgson, traditional fiddler Rowan Piggott, and guitarist-flautist Philippe Barnes. Taking their name from a Gerard Manley Hopkins classic, this Sheffield-based trio fuse the clear, charismatic vocals of former BBC Young Folk Award finalist Rosie Hodgson with the fine, sensitive fiddling of Rowan Piggott and the deft guitar and flute playing of 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. Their eponymous debut album was released in 2020 to critical acclaim, closely followed by a short EP of commissioned covers called John O' Dreams. Lockdown saw them record a winter album / show called Turn the Year Round, featuring secular re-writes of classic carols and carefully arranged seasonal favourites.
Their new studio album What Holds the World Together was released on 21st July 2022 and has
since been played on BBC Radio 2, 3 & 6; lauded widely by reviewers, it even made it into the Official Folk Albums Chart - no mean feat!
