Kim Lowings
British Folk singer and songwriter Kim Lowings currently lives in Gloucestershire. Born and raised in the West Midlands, Kim has built up a national reputation with its roots at the centre of the country.
She is perhaps best known for her work with The Greenwood and ‘folk supergroup’ The Company Of Players. Using the piano, guitar and trademark mountain dulcimer, she sings songs of love, loss and rebellion; tales old and new. Each with a modern twist and a purpose.
Described as “beautiful and enchanting” by Living Tradition and “Absolutely captivating” R2 Magazine.

Chris Elliott and Caitlin Jones
Described by Bright Young Folk as “experienced storytellers” who bring “timeless quality” to their music, award-winning duo Chris Elliott and Caitlin Jones have been playing music together since they met in 2014. Previously performing alongside Bella Gaffney (Magpies) and Heather Sirrel (Pilgrim’s Way) in the four-piece ‘Bric-a-Brac,’ Chris and Caitlin formed as a duo in 2017.
In 2019, they released their debut album “Carry Me Home,” which takes listeners to “an area of diverse landscapes, history and traditions, a patchwork of Staffordshire and beyond.” Since then, they have become well-known faces on the folk circuit, and have won several accolades, including the Shrewsbury Folk Festival open mic competition in 2018, and the 2022 Downend Folk & Roots Cliff Woolley Award. They were a featured artist at the 2021 Folk Expo in Manchester, and are currently working on their second album ‘Game of Halves,’ which will be released in Spring 2023.
