We have been delighted to see the continuing rise of the excellent Bridie Jackson And The Arbour who first featured on MM in January last year and went on to become the Glastonbury Emerging Talent Winners giving them the opportunity to play the main stage.

The four piece take traditional folk, baroque pop, a dash of southern gothic and even some gospel amongst other things and weave it into a uniquely original mix that is cloaked with a sweetly melancholic air. Dramatic new single We Talked Again may well be the best thing they’ve done to date – certainly fans of the Smoke Fairies, Peggy Sue and First Aid Kit will find much to love here.

Out in April, you can listen below.
