Swinging on Birches is an innovative new female-led trio consisting of Juliette Lemoine (cello), Madeleine Stewart (fiddle), and Heather Cartwright (guitar/vocals). The band weave songs, tunes and harmonies across cello, fiddle and guitar, creating lush, intricate pieces. Their music is drawn from their shared love of Scottish traditional music, though each musician brings her own interpretation through different musical backgrounds. They have each been making their mark on the UK scene, collectively performing at prestigious festivals including Celtic Connections, London Jazz Festival, Celtic Colours, Rudolstadt Festival, and Orkney Folk Festival, and collaborating with the likes of Hannah Rarity, Fergus McCreadie and Esther Swift. The trio are delighted to now be joining forces in this exciting new collaboration
