A rare and intimate evening of unaccompanied song with some of the most compelling voices in contemporary folk music.
Hailing from France’s Charente-Maritime, Tartine de Clous are a trio of long-time friends who draw from the oral traditions of western France. Their three-part harmonies, sung without instruments, bring raw energy and close-knit warmth to songs of love, labour, and life. They’ve shared stages with the likes of Alasdair Roberts and are known for creating performances that feel more like gatherings than gigs.
They’re joined by Stephanie Hladowski, a remarkable folk singer from Shipley with a voice that seems to carry centuries. Her work with guitarist C. Joynes on The Wild Wild Berry drew comparisons to Shirley Collins and Davey Graham, and she continues to breathe life into traditional English song with rare clarity and emotional depth.
One for lovers of song, story, and the power of the human voice.
