The Wilderness Yet continue to sing through the seasons as they explore the many branches of folksong and the growing influence of the natural world on British traditions and folklore. With their ‘simply exquisite’ three-part harmonies (BBC 6Music), and their ‘satisfyingly rich instrumentals’ (The Living Tradition), they have gained a cult following since their debut album was released to critical acclaim in 2020.
Taking their name from a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem, the Sheffield-based trio fuse the clear, charismatic vocals of former BBC Young Folk Award finalist Rosie Hodgson with the fine fiddling of Rowan Piggott and the deft guitar and flute playing of Philippe Barnes. Together, they entwine traditional material with their own ‘precisely observed, poetic, nature-centric songwriting’ (Tykes Stirrings), drawing heavily on the connection between people and the environment. Expect to be swept away by a Wild Northeaster one moment, only to be charmed again by The Beauties of Autumn.
This event will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval.
