Folk Withy Fest

Foxwillow are singer/song-writers Celia Sainsbury and Martin Dearmun based in mid Devon. They sometimes perform as a trio with a harpist but this set they will be performing some new material as a duo. Foxwillow write all their own songs and have been working together since 2000.Their original songs encompass elements of folk, country and rock, enhanced by a strong use of vocal harmonies to create a unique and heartfelt sound. This is underpinned by Martin’s crisp rhythm guitar and Celia’s melodic flute and clarinet. Foxwillow’s songs reflect a strong connection to the natural world, and are sung and played with energy and passion.
