Brothers James and Sam Gillespie grew up in the Northumbrian village of Wall and sing finely crafted original and traditional songs. Rich with lyrical intensity and the sounds of soaring sibling harmony, guitars, flute, fiddle and mandolin, their second album ‘The Fell’ has been described as ‘a classic in the making’ (Northern Sky) and as showing ‘British acoustic music in its best possible light’ (Folk Radio UK) .

As well as the folk traditions of Britain and Ireland they are deeply inspired by the folk revival artists of the 60’s and 70’s.

The brothers have travelled widely since 2015, singing everywhere from concert halls to campfires, folk festivals and Parisian circuses. Their performances are often intimate and personal, animated by a rare energy that is both earthy and ethereal, romantic and radical.
