Wales born, Brighton-based instrumentalist Gwenifer Raymond is a celebrated champion of the finger-picked guitar. She has drawn international acclaim for her repurposing of Mississippi blues and
John Fahey’s intricate Americana to embody her roots in rural South Wales and her interests in folk horror and the avant garde, inventing a new form dubbed Welsh Primitive. The Guardian has described her as a “profound talent” whilst The Observer has praised her “awe-inspiring technique and intense musicality”, and Uncut Magazine has championed her “fast-developing talents as a composer of eerie menace.”
Harris Newman is a Montreal-based guitarist whose fingerpicking style is steeped in the traditions of blues, psychedelia, and American Primitive guitar. Since 2003 he has released seven solo and collaborative albums that wander freely across these genres. He has also worked as a local mastering engineer for almost 30 years. After a 13 year hiatus, Harris has begun to warm back up to the idea of live performance.
