Fire Under the Bridge is almost relentless in its energy. This is joyful music and you just know that Pons Aelius are having fun making it. Lots of talent, lots of dynamism.
The Graeme Miles Bursary is now in its third year, set-up to support young artists from the North East. This year’s recipient has just been announced as Alasdair Paul, who was chosen by a selection panel including Adrian McNally and Rachel Unthank from The Unthanks.
Pons Aelius are set to deliver their debut album Captain Glen’s Comfort on 8 September. Bold arrangements and a rich and vibrant blend of traditional and contemporary folk music of Britain make them a must see band. Catch them at Bath Folk Festival next week.
