Lawrence Menard (USA) and Clare Quinn (AUS) are the transpacific-troubadours known as ‘Those Folk’. With Lawrence’s Cajun beginnings and Californian upbringing melding with Clare’s grounding in Australian folk music, their sound is diverse and inspiring. Vocal harmonies are featured alongside guitars, mandolin, banjo, accordion & banjo.
Charismatic, authentic and thoroughly entertaining, Lawrence and Clare met in Scotland in 2012. They have since travelled extensively and lived in the pine forest mountains of California. They now hang their travelling hats in Pomona, Queensland.
A partnership forged in the fires of folk music, Those Folk explore sounds from the 1960’s folk revival and contemporary Americana music. Breathtaking vocal harmonies are featured alongside rich instrumental work performed on guitars, mandolin, banjo and accordion. Lawrence & Clare are storytellers who make audience members feel like fast friends. As songwriters they delve into love, hope, belonging, and the human condition. As performers they enthral, enchant, and leave a lasting impression.

Founded in Brighton, July 2022, the Ukrainian Voices Choir brings together 17 singers aged 9 to 74, many of whom are refugees who found safety and new beginnings in the UK. United by their love of music, they share a rich repertoire of traditional and contemporary Ukrainian songs.
Since its founding, the choir has performed concerts across the South East, receiving heartfelt praise for its moving performances that transcend language and culture. Beyond music, the choir provides friendship, emotional healing, and a sense of belonging, while also celebrating Ukrainian heritage and strengthening community ties through the universal language of song. The choir is joined by members of Nebo i Zemlia choir, founded last year in Lewes, both under the Directorship of Lyudmilla Kulakova, who brings these two choirs together in strong collaborations.
