Filkin's Drift

Filkin’s Drift make their Kings Place Future Folk debut, reimagining traditional melodies through pizzicato grooves, intricate guitar tunes, and boundless improvisation.
Filkin’s Drift‘s music captures the essence of their recent 870-mile walk of Wales’ coast, ‘weaving together a tapestry of shared experiences’ (Songlines). Their compositions are sophisticated yet rooted in tradition, from delicate Welsh folksongs to traditional English dance tunes, the pair blend fiddle and guitar with their ‘gorgeous close vocal harmonies’ (Folk Radio UK).
Seth Bye and Chris Roberts have earned widespread acclaim with extensive national airtime on BBC Radio 2, 3, 4, 6 Music, and BBC World Service. Renowned for their live performances, characterised as ‘utterly mesmerizing’ (Bristol 24/7) and ‘hugely entertaining’ (RnR), the duo have enchanted audiences across the UK including FolkEast, Warwick Folk Festival, St George’s Bristol, and Llangollen International Eisteddfod.
