🌱 Meet Our Sound Roots Artist Mentoring Pathway 2026–2027 Cohort! 🌱
Our annual artist mentoring programme supports artists to build sustainable music careers, equipping them with the skills, networks and experience they need. Today, we're proud to introduce our new cohort: Eleanor Dunsdon & Gregor Black, Arthur Coates & Kerran Cotterell, Ceitidh Mac and Something Sleeps 🙌
Over the next year, these four artists will perform at major festivals and showcase events including
@folkeast ,
@manchesterfolk Festival and
@showing_roots .
Alongside this, they’ll deepen their understanding of the industry, grow valuable networks and develop clear strategic career plans with insights from leading industry experts. If you're heading to
@focuswales this week be sure to seek them out!
Thank you to everyone who applied, we were once again astonished by the diversity, talent and high standard of emerging English folk artists.
