Dogan Mehmet
Dogan creates an

grooves.
A diverse mixture of Southern English and Turkish folk songs, self-penned
material and driven tunes from English Morris as well as Cypriot traditions
give Dogan his own captivating sound.
'gives a roaring fanfare for multicultural Britain, merging Anglo-Turk
traditions with relish and conviction' Mojo

Mawkin
Since their formation
in 2002 Mawkin have grown into one of brit-folks brightest new guns: a
blistering 5-piece band fusing folk, world, jazz, prog and rock, they are no
strangers to the cutting edge of the contemporary music scene while still reigning
all the verve and mystique of ancient folk music traditions from across the
globe.
