The group released their first singles during 2022 and a an EP at the beginning of 2023. All received airtime across UK radio stations including BBC Radio Scotland’s “Travelling Folk” presented by Anna Massie and Bruce McGregor.

With the thrilling new addition of Breanna to the band in January and being crowned the winners of the 2023 Celtic Connections Danny Kyle Award, the group have lots of plans for the coming year with new material and exciting gigs.

Louden hails from Kintail in the Highlands, Breanna from Glasgow, and Arthur from the Isle of Skye.
