Three acclaimed singer-songwriters - Emma Thorpe, Matt Hill and Huw Costin – go on walks and then write songs about them. Inspired by a previous generation of English folk and poet musicians – Julian Cope, Robert Wyatt, Kate Bush - they travel beyond the Keep Out signs to the ancient green lanes and sunken tracks, where our ancestors buried their bones. The songs explore folklore, family, childhood and the memories that landscapes evoke.
This engaging evening of songs and stories will feature shimmering 12 string guitars, minimalist folk picking, spooky harmonies and primitive synths sounds. Projected images alongside sounds of field recordings will help bring the outdoors in.
The Low Drift is a show that will reinvigorate your relationship to these wonderful islands we live on.
All three are accomplished musicians in their own right - Emma Thorpe is signed to Vicious Charm Records as a solo artist and has duetted with Mark Lanaghan. She’s also a photographer.
Matt Hill writes of history and community, had 4 star reviews from Uncut and the Mirror and performed with Billy Bragg at Glastonbury festival.
Huw Costin fronts acclaimed band Torn Sail, has been A-playlisted on BBC 6Music and received album of the year in the NME yearbook.

“Sounding like a dark bucolic folk answer to Crosby, Stills & Nash. Brings a welcome new musical perspective on our connection to the land.” - Folking.com
"A wonderfully poetic journey through land and memory, exploring the incredible connections we have to the geography around us. Truly beautiful.” - Fatea
“Thorpe, Costin and Hill have come together as some sort of symbiotic trio to write and deliver an album of outstanding musical sentiment and beauty.” Penny Black Music
