Welcome…
we are very grateful for their time and effort spent preparing the fields… and then allowing us to trample all over them! A huge thank you to all the amazing venue staff and technicians, and the gobsmackingly generous volunteer stewards and site builders who have jumped in with both feet to make this weekend work as smoothly as possible. Before I ramble on any further with ever more extravagant superlatives, I would like to say that the festival team and myself are not shy of helpful suggestions, comments and constructive criticism. We have laboured and toiled to bring you a festival we are proud of, and fingers crossed you enjoy a large percentage of what you experience, but where you see a lack or feel an improvement can be made, please make a note and pass it along to venue staff or stewards and all will be put through the mill for next year’s event… Yes! It is happening again next year, isn’t it David?
to the very first shiny new Underneath the Stars Festival. Many thanks for your belief and adventurous spirit in joining us as we take our first experimental steps into the world of festival organising. Thank you also to all the incredibly talented musicians and singers who have agreed to perform and entertain us on our first weekend event. The line-up this year has been largely drawn from personal friends, heroes and collaborators myself and my family have been fortunate enough to work with over our time in this tremendous folk and wider acoustic music scene. We are incredibly lucky and they really are the inspiration for UTSf. Massive appreciation must also go to the wonderful Nicholson family, especially Robert and David; their patience with the Rusby-Von-Trapps and perseverance with this hairbrained scheme is truly admirable. We hope you all agree Cannon Hall Open Farm is a perfect spot for a lovely festival and

“A folksinger who (shreds) like an arena-rock star… and still writes songs that sting and storm.” – NPR Named by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the Top 20 Guitarists of All Time, Richard Thompson is also one of the world’s most critically acclaimed and prolific songwriters. He has received Lifetime Achievement Awards for Songwriting on both sides of the Atlantic – from the Americanas in Nashville to Britain’s BBC Awards, and the prestigious Ivor Novellos. Thompson’s genre-defying mastery of both acoustic and electric guitar along with dizzying energy and onstage wit continue to earn him massive new fans and a place as one of the most distinctive virtuosos in folk rock history. ‘Genius appears early.

Since signing to Sugar Hill Records at age 16, Sarah Jarosz has barely stopped to catch her breath, even as she leaves audiences and critics alike breathless. Rolling Stone has compared her to Gillian Welch; Mojo labeled her a “newgrass prodigy” for her skills on banjo, guitar and mandolin; and the normally reserved New York Times hailed her as “one of acoustic music’s finest talents,” with a flair for songwriting to match her instrumental prowess. From her own original material to her exquisite interpretations of songs by others, she seems to exist outside any frame of reference, managing to weave time-honored tradition with a bold, adventurous spirit of discovery and independence. www.sarahjarosz.com

Over a decade together, they have honed their pastoral pop to perfection, winning over audiences and critics one rustic twang of guitar, icy electronic echo and sumptuous whisper of vocals at a time to become one of Britain’s most championed underground forces – fitting for an act who began literally underground, in the basement of a Soho women’s clothing boutique some ten years ago. Now their success story is set to continue with the release of fifth studio album Turbines, their most bewitching and brilliant listen yet. www.tunng.co.uk
A turbocharged collective from Scotland bringing a truly 21st Century sound to the folk scene – featuring bagpipes, whistles, flutes, fiddles, accordion, banjo, guitars, bass, drums, bodhrán and percussion that forges an irresistibly danceable sound that must be experienced to be believed. www.treacherousorchestra.com

Adrian Edmondson and the Bad Shepherds play punk songs on folk instruments. Not as a gag, but because they really like the noise. They think the songs are better than people remember. They’ve mostly given the songs a kind of Celtic feel, and they’ve stuck in the odd reel and jig here and there. But occasionally they just thrash! www.thebadshepherds.com
John Smith is the guitar man from Devon who has quietly become one of the most exciting voices on the new British folk scene. He plays the steel-string acoustic guitar. Sometimes with a slide, sometimes on his lap, sometimes de-tuning the thing mid-song. He was named Young Acoustic Guitarist Of The Year in 2003 and hasn’t stopped to look back, unless it’s to pick up a banjo. His playing combined with his honeyon-gravel vocals have brought crowds to pin-drop silence and rapturous applause. www.johnsmithjohnsmith.com

Since 2009, Moore Moss Rutter have been playing as a trio, meticulously reworking English tunes and compositions into sets and songs which have been described as “intelligently crafted musical adventures”.

A South by Southwest showcasing artist at 17, Jack was also the first international act to win the New Folk songwriting competition at The Kerrville Folk Festival, Texas.

Twins Laura and Charlotte perform their original songs and instrumentals along with a few carefully chosen covers on guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, and clawhammer banjo. Their busy touring schedule is rapidly building them a reputation for engaging and entertaining live performances with tight sibling vocal harmonies and multi-instrumental virtuosity. Having grown up in South Devon, an area rich in folk lore and legends, much of their original material is inspired by their local surroundings and history. www.thecarrivicksisters.co.uk
Brought together one night by a chance meeting at a gig and sharing a mutual appreciation of country and bluegrass music, the group centre around the partnership of singer/songwriters Daniel Wright & Stevie-Leigh Goodison. Influenced by the high and lonesome sounds of Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and George Jones, Daniel and Stevie have been likened to some of the great country duos of yesteryear, such as Johnny and June CarterCash. Their original material blends seamlessly with old time country classics. Daniel speaks through his handed down guitar whilst Stevie-Leigh’s heart worn vocals show musical maturity far beyond her years.

Kids can come along and have a go at the percussive step dance that has its roots in the industrial areas of Northern England and is named after the footwear that was commonly worn by everyday folk at that time. Clogging, as it is often referred to, is believed to have first developed in the mid19th century in the cotton mills of Lancashire, where workers created a dance that imitated the rhythms of looms. Definitely worth a go…
Start your day with uplifting, soothing movements, synchronised breathing and gentle relaxation guided by David from mindfultaichi. Tai Chi is all about doing, not achieving. www.mindful-taichi.co.uk
