Joining her are multi-instrumentalist Joel Woods and musician Thomas Fletcher. A versatile virtuoso of plucked string instruments, Woods brings guitar and banjo to the mix, while Fletcher completes this special musical collaboration. with clarinet. Together, the trio strip things back, stretch things out and find new colours in songs originally built for packed rock venues and festivals.

Running times are kept nice and short for our small fries!
