Since their initial one-off pilot in 2015, five leading lights of the UK folk scene have been reconvening each December to share their joyous Christmas party with audiences across the country.
Expect reimagined winter classics from both sides of the Atlantic, some little known Yuletide gems, and plenty of songs direct from the pen of these five critically acclaimed songwriters. Perhaps most of all though, look forward to the feeling of having started the festivities with A Winter Union.
Featuring: Jade Rhiannon (voice, shruti box); Jamie Roberts (voice, guitar); Hannah Sanders (voice, dulcimer, guitar); Ben Savage (voice, guitar, dobro); and Katriona Gilmore (voice, fiddle, mandolin).
A Winter Union release their third studio album Through The Western Door in December 2026, touring the UK with their biggest live show to-date.
