The Last Inklings are Leonardo MacKenzie and David Hoyland, both accomplished multi-instrumentalists with a solid folk background. The band's innovative sound crosses genres, centred around cello, mandolin and vocal harmony, layered with guitar, piano, strings, synths and percussion. With vibrant backstories and creative musicianship, their songs have a modern flavour that is rich with imagery and narrative, exploring at their core what it is to be human.

Autumn 2022 they are producing a six part podcast series, ‘Limited Bandwidth’, interviewing artists, and specialists - cyberpsychologist, therapist and digital marketing expert - as they explore the increasing role and impact of social media in the lives of musicians in the post pandemic world.

The Last Inklings released their debut album The Impossible Wild in October 2021, following the release of their EP Alchemy in April 2020. It charted in the Official UK Folk Charts Top 40 and received the Fatea Magazine 2021 Debut Album of the Year Award.
