Plumhall (Michelle Plum and Nick Hall) supported Fairport Convention on their UK Winter Tour last year and then guested with the band at their prestigious Cropredy Festival in the summer. As a result, the duo has been asked to play their own set at Cropredy Festival 2025 with a full band line-up.

In a world of soundbites and distractions Chris Wood is a truth seeker. His writing is permeated with love and wry intelligence, uplifting and challenging as he celebrates the sheer one-thing-after-anotherness of life. Tom Robinson and Chris Difford are fans while Stick In The Wheel and The Unthanks look to him as an influence.

Winner of 6 BBC Folk Awards, he's played with The Royal Shakespeare Company and was a key member of The Imagined Village along with Billy Bragg and Martin Carthy. A wise and soulful craftsman, his concerts are a cliche free zone.
