Sidmouth Fringe Sessions

*Artist Announcement*

The Kahunas are a melting pot of drums, wah-wah violin riffs, synthesizers and original lyrical content.

When they started out, The Kahunas sold everything they owned and converted a van and moved out onto the road. Tash and Brian risked it all to follow their dream.

The Kahunas music reflects the places they have been, the people they have met and their amazing journey of being in a relationship, a band and living in a van together with their trusty side kick Roadie (Their little dog)!

Great to welcome dynamic Indie-folk band Good Habits back to the the Fringe.

With vocals, cello, accordion, synths and drums at their core, they carve out a sound that’s virtuosic, cinematic and unapologetically fun – a blend of folk-ish storytelling, groove-driven energy and existential hope.

Initially a duo – Good Habits have become a trio with the addition of a drummer supercharging their already dynamic live show with a rhythmic drive to become a vibrant, optimistic collision of stories, songs and sheer musical joy.

“An infectious energy and joy that's impossible to resist” - FRUK

Introducing Suthering - a fearless, q***r duo whose emotionally charged songwriting tackles politics, mental health, feminism and LGBTQ+ rights with warmth, humour, and unshakable honesty.

Powerful storytelling is at the heart of their live shows, with songs that hit to the core of what it means to be human. Immaculate vocal harmonies and spellbinding moments of a ca****la — woven through piano, fingerstyle guitar, whistles and flutes — regularly bring rooms to pin-drop silence.

'Excellent musicians, beautiful harmonies and a fresh approach to traditional music.' Fatea Magazine

We are really excited to have Ceitidh Mac (pronounced Katie - spelt the Gaelic way) join us with her band at the Fringe this summer. 💃🤩
With a progressive twist to her music, she is described as an alt.folk singing/cellist, ‘Fascinating new Welsh-born, Tyneside-dwelling singer-songwriter and cellist, with an unusual, stunning voice.’

'Stunning lyrics and a genuine undertone gave me goose-bumps as Mac delicately created beautiful soundscapes through the cello.'
