Culverake is a new traditional singing trio promising gusto and harmonies a plenty. The trio is made up of Seb Stone, Matt Quinn and Lizzy Hardingham, and together they breathe new life into timeless melodies.

​

Matt Quinn is a singer and instrumentalist who’s known as one third of The Dovetail Trio, Matt currently works in the ceilidh bands Geckoes and The Discussion Topic, and in a mandolin/guitar duo with George Sansome (Granny’s Attic).  Primarily a mandolin and duet concertina player, he is also well known for his skills on the melodeon and as a singer, and is always in demand on the English folk scene.

 

Folk-infused singer songwriter Lizzy Hardingham is paving her way as a powerhouse performer, with her wonderful voice grabbing listeners from the very first note. Think Christine Collister, Joni Mitchell, Sandy Denny and KT Tunstall all wrapped into one! 

 

Seb Stone is a traditional singer, whistle player and uilleann piper from the Peak District. He draws on a varied repertoire of traditional English and Irish songs, singing them with “understanding, sensitivity & strength”. In 2022, he won Bromyard Folk Festival’s ‘Future of Folk’ award. Seb is also a keen session player, and when he’s not poring over broadsides or field recordings, he can be found playing sessions in Sheffield’s thriving folk scene.
