Bough is the first musical venture of singer-songwriters Gavin Mitchell & Julie Carney.

Formed in mid-2012, Raintown Seers is a trio of musicians from the Northwest of England who together produce a unique blend of acoustic music with roots in the folk traditions of both sides of the Atlantic. Each with their own rich and lengthy musical experience, the three members bring diverse influences and instrumental skills, and the carefully chosen material combines traditional, contemporary cover versions and outstanding original songs.

Raintown Seers consists of:

Steve Hyde -  a multi instrumentalist and folk enthusiast who has been playing and teaching traditional music and dance for over 40 years. He has played in various Ceilidh bands, folk bands as well as for the Morris. Steve lived in Wales for over 20 years running his own Welsh Twmpath band, Thingumajig, and played Melodeon for Dawson Smith and the Exiles. Steve has taught classes and lectured in folk culture, music and dance both here and abroad. In 2009 Steve succesfully researched and revived the Llantwit Major Mummers play which had been lost for many years. As well as the Melodeon, Steve plays Mandolin, Mandola, Banjo and Accordion.

Neil Fisher plays Guitar and sings and adds an occasional bit of Mandolin as well. Neil is a comparative late-comer to traditional music having cut his performing teeth in rock and blues during the 80’s and 90’s. To say that Neil brings musical influences primarily from the US side of the pond (particularly having spent 7-years living over there) would be an oversimplification. In the last decade he has immersed himself in the UK contemporary folk scene, and is an avid follower of the likes of Lakeman, Moray and SOH. Neil is a songwriter and cites the two Steves from opposite sides of the Atlantic, Earle and Knightley, as his major influences.

Lisa Lovatt - Lisa’s info will be added when she’s finished making it up.



Burying Ghosts.
I like to think of myself as a modern-day mystic and seeker of Truth and my songs are about life's loves and losses, with the twists of fate that accompany the human journey and its many harsh and beautiful lessons.

Album out now

THE TORSiON FiELD are
Matt Whitton - Vocals, guitar and harmonica
Craig Fordham - Drums and Vocals
Andrew Heasman - Keyboard, guitar and vocals
Nate Mountain - Bass and Vocals
Nick Brown - Lead guitar

Matt and Craig have been playing music together for over twenty years and this set the foundations of the songs and band. Andrew, Nate and Nick joined and completed the line up and sound of this album. Rehearsals, gigs and open mics meant we knew the songs well enough to record them live in two to three takes recreating our live sound. We are very proud of this album and hope you enjoy listening to it.

RESET PROSE are life-long friends duo Gavin Mitchell & Nathan Smith. They have established themselves at, and with enormous support from, local folk clubs The Milkmaid and The Bury Folk Collective - privileged to perform showcase nights and enjoy opening sets for JEZ LOWE & THE BAD PENNIES, THEM HARVEY BOYS, SHERRI KERSHAW, THE GERRY COLVIN BAND and, more recently, a pre-event warm up for FAIRPORT CONVENTION.

They are singer/songwriters hailing from Suffolk, playing a mixture of their own original tunes and covers.

Live performances see Gavin on guitar/harmonica and Nathan on mandolin/guitar. In the studio the sound is expanded by either player to incorporate bass, drums or keyboards into the mix.

Having previously played at FolkEast in 2013 & 2014, and half hour slots at the local Oxjam in 2013-2015, RESET PROSE has also played at The Cambridge Folk Festival 2014 - followed by the inaugural 2015 Bury Folk Festival in collaboration with the Bury Folk Collective (with a follow-up appearance in 2016 booked). They have also been honoured to play gigs at other wonderful folk clubs and venues in Stowmarket (with the distinction of being the very first opening act at the John Peel Centre), Great Bardfield, Thetford, Wolferton, and an hour long live internet radio show on West Norfolk Radio in Great Massingham... to name a few!
