The Shackleton Trio

Captivating songwriting and fiery tunes that combine mandolin, fiddle, guitar and banjo with powerful three part harmonies.
The unmistakable sound of The Shackleton Trio brings to life the stories of their native East Anglia, and beyond.

The trio features Georgia Shackleton (fiddle, vocals), Aaren Bennett (guitar) and Nic Zuppardi (mandolin and banjo).
Collectively the band draw influence from British, American and Scandinavian folk traditions, whilst Georgia's flair
for sourcing largely unsung material from East Anglia keeps the band firmly rooted in their local tradition.

This year sees the trio touring a brand new album, as they celebrate their 10 year anniversary. A decade performing together
has included plays on BBC Radio 2, Radio 3 and Radio 4, BBC 6 Music, RTE 1, BBC Countryfile, press coverage with gleaming 5-star reviews,
an appearance on Cambridge Folk Festival's prestigious main stage, a host of UK and European festivals and international tours, and many miles on the road.

This is a band that clearly enjoys playing together, and are not to be missed.

PAM & ALAN COLLS

Founders of the Dartford Folk Club, Pam and Alan Colls ran the Club together for over 40 years, booking an amazing variety of artists within the Folk genre.
Sadly both Pam and Alan have passed away but, at our 50th Birthday celebrations in October 2023, the team, guests and audience raised a glass
to remember their friendship, achievements and amazing contributions to the music world.

The Dartford Folk Club is now managed by a small team of original members in memory of and as a legacy to Pam & Alan's love for music.
