Holly Taymar is one of the North's most respected acoustic performers, returning to Galtres for the SIXTH year! With a delicate, yet soulful voice, stylised finger picked guitar work and a repertoire of unpretentious, poetic songs, Holly's live shows are not to be missed. Holly's natural stage presence and rappor with regular accompanist Christopher Bilton have earned her appearances at Stainsby Folk Festival, Wath Folk Festival, Beverley Folk Festival to name a few, not to mention support gigs for Martha Tilston, Boo Hewerdine, Ben Parker and Edwina Hayes.
An acoustic session by Farlington-based singer songwriter Alistair McIntosh, showcasing a selection of songs he has written and played both solo and with the band. The rest of his band, Box of Goats, are bound to be in on the act, and are performing later in the day.
Another singer songwriter from York, Suzy's music is fairly acoustic, with folk, jazz and pop/rock elements -
influenced by pretty much a bit of everything!
Powerful vocals with accompanying guitar.
