John Fairhurst has spent the majority of his life travelling the world and playing music, meeting innumerable characters, collecting stories and drawing influence and inspiration from the varied musical styles and first hand experiences of a life on the road.

Brooke Sharkey grew up in London before moving to France at the age of 9, which naturally draws her songwriting to be both in English and French. 
Her musical journey started in 2009 when she started to perform in the streets of Norfolk  followed by London, Paris, Bristol and beyond. 
Brooke has since released 3 EPs and 2 albums  of her own songs with the latest gaining her praise from The Guardian naming her one of the top 50 independent artists in the world doing it their own way. She has headlined venues such as The Jazz cafe, played at Cambridge folk festival and won (ex aequo) the “Concert of the year award” at The Union Chapel in 2017.
Her music has been compared to the likes of Kate Bush, Ane Brun and Lhasa de sela. Her unique, ethereal and distinctive vocals and lyrics explore the vast yet intricate themes of love, loss, hope, beauty, nature, seduction and wonder. 
Having relocated to Oslo, Norway, in 2020, she has been recording a collection of new songs entitled Under Stones. Her 2024 Autumn/winter shows will be presenting these new songs live prior to their release in 2025.

	In the last three years Alastair Caplin has performed with the likes of Abigail Washburn, The Incredible String Band, Dave Swarbrick and Richard Thompson. He has accompanied singer/guitarist Alasdair Roberts on numerous tours and recorded two albums with him; ‘Too Long in this Condition’, released last year by Drag City, and an album of Gaelic song to be released on Drag City next year. The most recent projects Alastair was involved in was recording the solo fiddle music for the film 'Burke &amp; Hare' with Simon Pegg and Bill Bailey, and writing and performing the live score for the Gaelic play Roghainn nan Daoine. Praise for Alastair’s playing includes:
“The Fiddle from Caplin charts the songs' emotional depths with an icy beauty” (Dusted magazine)
“Alastair Caplin’s live fiddle score had the air of an exquisite Polish passion play” (Scotsman)
“The live fiddle playing of Alastair Caplin was superb and evocative, whether signing a change of scene or underpinning the emotional tone of dialogue.” (Hi-Arts Review)
“Caplin shone as fiddler. Never has a musical instrument been made so overtly sexual. Caplin’s masterful technique combined with the wonderfully physical acting of Mairi Morrison, who played his on-stage wife, positively oozed sensuality.” (Stornoway Gazette)
Alastair is currently playing with The John Langan Band, Alasdair Roberts, Brooke Sharkey, Adam Beattie, Garance Louis, and as a solo act amongst other projects.
