About

'Brace yourself to traverse a musical odyssey that surpasses conventional boundaries' – Fame Magazine

Arty Jackson and Carys Lewin are 'Humm,' a southwest-based contemporary folk duo with stories to tell, minds to change and worlds to re-imagine, creating music which unites fellow nature lovers with their inner activist. Rooted in traditional music, Humm have created a new, eclectic sound, with influences ranging from John Martyn and Joni Mitchell to Radiohead and XTC.

Casting a collective spell over young and old since 2018 with their rich harmonium drones, melodic finger-style guitar and lush ethereal vocals. Humm take listeners on a twisted journey through love and heartbreak, telling folkloric tales of Welsh saints and Greek sinners, Cornish fairy tales and mediaeval legends. Being staunch environmentalists themselves, they find their music always leads back to one place: the importance of planet preservation.

In 2022, the duo won the National Trust Forthlin Road competition, which allowed them to visit, write and perform at Sir Paul & Mike McCartney's childhood home 20 Forthlin Road, Liverpool. This year, they were shortlisted for BBC's 'Tune into Nature' music prize with their song, 'For the Thames Eel'.

Tickets are £15 for general admission and £10 for all concessions. The cafe and bar will be open for the duration of the event serving hot and cold drinks.
