Jack Boyd is a banjo player and singer of Appalachian folk, who has taken the music all around the world. Having performed traditional Appalachian music at festivals such as Sidmouth Folk Festival and Maverick festival, Jack’s clawhammer style is rooted in the traditions of the instrument, and he will be singing a collection of murder ballads, travelling songs, and laments on both the banjo and guitar.

Rachel Button is a British singer-songwriter, fiddle player and vocal coach. She is at the forefront of the British folk music scene and has been privileged to perform at The Royal Albert Hall, The Roundhouse, Kensington Palace and The Great British Folk Festival.
