In a journey through sound, texture, emotion and rhythm, Hannah and Toby navigate the paths of growth, discovery, darkness and light, exploring the dialogue of cello, voice, accordion and foot percussion in new and unexpected ways. Effortlessly blending, the pair play and dance through a series thoughtful tunes, soulful songs and joyful set-pieces in which Hannah’s vocal mastery is underpinned by Toby’s unorthodox delivery, weaving intricate layers of harmony and melody together to the beat and swish of percussive dance. Ever curious, always exploring their connection to the worlds around them, this duo offers an entirely novel, delicate, grounded and powerful performance.

LA’l TETHERA
Based in the rainy Lakeland Fells, Georgie Rix, Ada Wood and Leo Rix (viola, fiddle and accordion) combine broad, textural arrangements with close vocal harmony, to create a tight
and intentional sound, full of groove, grit and lilt. They bring a deep-rooted knowledge of English folk to a globally inspired repertoire. Blowing you away with their unmistakable sound
yet making you feel like you’re around the kitchen table with them all at the same time.
Having independently learnt their craft in pubs and community projects, La’l Tethera developed their collective sound busking, before earning local acclaim playing festivals and events. They have since taken the opportunity to learn from respected teachers including, Jo Freya, Bryony Griffith, Carolyn Francis and Marie Fielding. Both Georgie and Ada currently study degrees in traditional music, at Leeds Conservatoire and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland respectively.
Their creativity and skill have earned them places on national and international projects, enabling the three to place their distinctive sound within a contemporary social context. Their
close-knit friendship shines through their playing accentuating repertoire which both remembers the past and looks to the future.
