Programme - Deepdale Festival

Thursday 21st to Sunday 24th September 2023

Good Habits

Friday - Orchard

At the beginning of their journey, the pair spent 2 years happily stranded on tour in New Zealand by the pandemic where they performed at some of NZ's largest festivals. Their debut album, 'Going For Broke', received glowing press in Songlines and The New Zealand Herald, and they were endorsed by Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman and the New Zealand Police.

Since returning home as Purbeck Rising winners, they have had a jam-packed first year back in the UK, which saw the release of their 2nd album, 'Antipody', as well as performances at Manchester Folk Festival, Bristol Folk Festival, Beardy Folk and Shrewsbury Folk Festival.

They can now be found touring relentlessly around the UK and Germany in their red van, Laurie Vanderson, combining their love of collaboration, performing and workshop leading.

This was the programme for Deepdale Festival 2023, our 6th annual festival. We had a fabulous weekend, with an amazing range of musical talent including national and local bands.
