The Wadsworth Community Centre 23rd May date is a stop off on their new album tour. Their new album 'Cold Blows The Wind' is the trio's first studio release as a band in almost 4 years.
Granny's Attic began their musical collaboration as schoolboys. With exceptional musicianship and boundless energy, Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne (melodeon, concertina, vocals), George Sansome (guitar, vocals) and Lewis Wood (violin, vocals) have honed their skills touring the UK and Europe.
They are much loved by audiences up and down the country, with bookings everywhere from Cambridge Folk Festival to Cecil Sharp House. The trio have been heralded for their lively performances and skilled delivery of traditional material, playing with verve, energy and their own inimitable style. Though grounded in tradition, they are keen to push new boundaries by exploring fresh approaches and writing their own compositions.
"Their high-octane take on English folk has brought a whole new audience to the genre." The Irish Times
"Great tunes, great energy, great arrangements, great stuff!" Jon Boden
Opening the evening is special guest, Serious Sam Barrett. Sam is a hard touring, folk and country singer/songwriter from Otley, playing honest, heartfelt self-penned and traditional songs on 12 string guitar and banjo.
"The sustained brilliance of this playing is really something to behold." Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2
"Songs that rattle with the ghosts of Appalachian folk, and southern blues, yet sound emphatically English." Uncut Magazine
