Folk Royalty Set For Quay Arts Date

A Scottish band at the heart of the UK folk scene are heading to the Isle of Wight this month.

Salt House will perform at Quay Arts on Wednesday November 8.

The band’s reputation as fine interpreters of words both old and new has been solidified over the past few years, with acclaimed album releases and extensive touring both at home and in mainland Europe.

Salt House are Jenny Sturgeon, Ewan MacPherson and Lauren MacColl.

The Salt House sound is carefully honed – melancholy viola entangled round rich vocals and double-guitar interplay.

There’s a strong connection to place in their music – with the band based between the Scottish Highlands and Shetland.

Taking their name from a dock in Ewan’s native Liverpool, Salt House draw on a wide range of influence from folk, traditional, and singer-songwriter worlds that they inhabit.

Whether it’s on the festival stage or in an intimate theatre, the band share their songs with an empathy that has won them fans far and wide.

The doors will open at 6pm, with the show starting at 8pm.
