QUANTUM PENGUIN
Quantum Penguin (Matt Woolley) is a singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist from Shropshire. He winds together vocals, guitar, violin and bouzouki in a genre breaking mix of his own music and contemporary folk pieces.
His love of storytelling through song blended with driving instrumentals means his set is one minute lilting and filled with emotion and the next joyfully energetic with soaring fiddle or bouzouki.
Matt is a founding member of the band String Workshop and enjoys collaborating with fellow musicians and artists on various projects and art installations from Cornwall to Shropshire.
His debut album- Rockhopper is available on all good digital music stores and also in CD form.

Hailing from Wrexham, the enchanting duo Igloo Hearts brings a breath of fresh air to the music scene. Comprising the talented married couple James (guitar/vocals) and Katie MacGregor(piano/vocals), their originality shines through their captivating sound.
At the core of Igloo Heart’s music are classical piano and mesmerizing chord progressions, showcasing flawless harmonies and refined musicianship. Influenced by Jesca Hoop, Radiohead, and Kate Bush, their compositions blend classical elements with contemporary energy.
Having secured recognition as runners-up in the Purbeck Folk Rising Competition and Radio Wigwam's Awards (Folk category), Igloo Hearts have also enjoyed numerous BBC Introducing radio plays. Their live
performances, held at esteemed venues like the Liverpool Philharmonic, Llangollen International Eisteddfodd, and Focus Wales, exhibit a unique blend of intimacy and grandeur.
With their distinctive fusion of classical and modern influences, this duo creates a lasting impact on the listener with exciting yet beautiful ‘goosebump inducing’ performances.
