GRANNY’S ATTIC FULL BIO
Award-winning trio Granny’s Attic are well known on the folk scene, having built a loyal following up and down the country and beyond over the last 15 years. Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne (melodeon, anglo concertina, vocals), George Sansome (guitar, vocals) and Lewis Wood (violin, vocals) are all exceptional musicians and composers, and their lively and engaging performance style wins new fans wherever they go.

Granny’s Attic have a big Leeds connection and fan base as Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne and George Sansome both studied at university locally. They have performed a number of times to full houses in the area and recorded at Leeds’ Evoke Studios. And George still lives in the area.

With exceptional musicianship and boundless energy, Granny’s Attic are going from strength to strength. They have honed their skills touring the UK and Europe since 2009. 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. In October 2021, they released The Brickfields, an instrumental collection that saw them reach new heights as both composers and performers. This was followed up in 2025 by Cold Blows the Wind, an album of largely traditional material which went down a storm with reviewers and audiences alike. 

Described by KLOF Magazine as “one of the most exciting and accomplished English folk acts on the scene right now”, this outstanding trio can hold audiences in the palm of their hand.
