her. Folk enthusiasts will know Kellie from her work with The Albion Band. She
received personal praise from Ron
Sexsmith
for her beautiful version of his song ‘Riverbed’ on her album
Tenacious, which put her on the map as one this country’s finest voices.

Simon Care is currently working with Edward II
and has always had a passion for Traditional English dance and song. Simon also
works with Banter, Tickled Pink and the Morris On Band.

Simon Nicol, founder member of Fairport Convention finishes the line
up to make this a truly festive treat. He is regarded as one of the finest
acoustic guitarists in the world. His voice is pretty special too!
