George Washbourn and Shem Fillmore

George Washbourn is a multi-instrumental folk musician, singer, and composer from Kent. He has spent the last 20 years scratching away at various stringed instruments; he has had the great pleasure and good fortune to happen to do this in front of audiences. His debut EP Lost In The Swell, an instrumental set of 5 tunes, draws from his musical travels, collaborations across the London folk scene, and traditional Balfolk tunes. Alongside his work as a composer and performer of original material, he plays part in a range of projects including London-based global roots collective Flotsam Orchestra, River Wild, and Alex Connor. ?Shem Fillmore is an absolute force of nature. He is a brilliantly eccentric and virtuosic musician, and his shows are at once musically tight, entertaining and enlightening. .... performing tight and quirky arrangements of traditional folk tunes from the UK and beyond, adding improvisation to the melting pot of flying folk medleys.?- Rachel Hayter, Alvorada English traditional music from a parallel universe ? Shem Fillmore stirs together the future, past and alternative timelines into a seething broth. The music draws from the social music making of recent traditions, as well as mystical threads from the baroque-era and more contemporary influences. The band explores patterns, rhythms, movement and the crooked and exciting corners of the English tune repertoire. .
