A Winter Union

Five leading lights of the British roots scene join forces to create a festive folk band like no other. Expect soaring harmonies and exquisite musicianship as the 5-piece blast through a repertoire of brand new, specially written songs, fresh arrangements of traditional carols both well-loved and little-known, and seasonal classics from both sides of the Atlantic.

Originally formed in 2015 for a one-off yuletide concert, A Winter Union have gone from strength to strength in the following 5 tours and now are fast becoming thought of as the pre-Christmas knees-up for folk & roots lovers all over the country. The band – featuring members of The Willows, Gilmore & Roberts and Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage – have gone on to play the likes of the Great British Folk Festival and were invited for a live session on BBC Radio 3’s In Tune. Put on your glad rags and come and raise your voices with A Winter Union!

“A Winter Union, a folk supergroup of sorts, featuring two established duos, Katriona Gilmore & Jamie Roberts, Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage, along with the superb singer Jade Rhiannon from The Willows, did this to the nth degree by reworking several seasonal songs during their impressive Saturday afternoon set.” Northern Sky @ Great British Folk Festival 2018
