FolkAndRoots Present George Washbourn and Elye Cuthbertson
Doors: 12:00 am
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.
Elye Cuthbertson is bringing a new sound to the folk scene with his unique approach to the melodeon. Elye has been immersing himself in English folk music for 10 years under the guidance of some of the finest teachers of the tradition. Combining this English folk experience with his passion for Balfolk and other traditions from throughout Europe, his compositions reflect his varied influences. Elye’s skill and inventiveness has been demonstrated through performances around the country, including his own concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Elye’s 2024 EP, Two Rainy Days, showcases his unusual style of melodeon playing and innovative tune writing.
