The Roots List

Suffolk-born singer-songwriter Ady Johnson’s music blends folk and Americana with blues, rock and indie influences, all rooted in classic British songwriting. His expressive, soulful vocals are complemented by accomplished, dynamic guitar playing, shaped by his background in classical guitar and characterised by intricate fingerpicking.

Combining their irresistibly charming, boot-stompin’ tunes with intertwined twangy and jangly guitars, powerful vocal harmonies and a kick drum made from an old suitcase, Jaime April and Jason Moon make up the Canadian duo APRIL MOON.

In an unmissable collaboration, five of the English folk scene’s most inventive artists bring you Awake Arise: A Christmas Show For Our Times, celebrating the riches of our varied winter traditions and reflecting upon the hope and resilience in music and song that can bring joy to us all in the darkest season.

Alt-Folk duo from South London.
Acoustic guitars, ambient loops, acerbic lyrics.
