Shane Cook & The Woodchippers and Tern

Shane Cook & The Woodchippers' core sound is based on their deep connection to the traditional music of Ontario, yet they also draw on styles as broad as Celtic, folk, roots, bluegrass, and swing. Their superbly crafted compositions and arrangements are a modern, exhilarating approach to fiddle tunes, song, and dance.

Shane Cook is a multi-instrumentalist and master of the Canadian old-time fiddle tradition. Joining him as a four-member group of multi-instrumentalists, singers and step dancers, The Woodchippers are: Emily Flack on piano, vocals and dance, Joe Phillips on vocals, double bass and guitar, and Kyle Waymouth on guitar, tenor banjo and dance.

Support comes from Glasgow-based Scandi/Scottish folk band Tern (winners of the Danny Kyle Open Stage 2023). Named after the migrating bird of the Nordic Regions, this five-piece crafts contemporary arrangements of traditional and original material, drawing on the music of Scotland and Scandinavia.
