Our Headline Acts
Sir Reel Clarks
Sir-Reel Clarks, the dynamic family band hailing from Aberdeenshire, Scotland. With a rich musical heritage that spans generations, Aaron, Andy, Kyle, and Chantel come together to create a unique sound that blends different styles and genres of folk music, from Scottish to Irish.
Music has always been a part of the Clarks’ family tradition, and it was after Aaron inherited his grandfather’s melodeon in 2019 that he discovered his passion for playing music. Despite facing challenges in school, Aaron was determined to show the world that anyone can learn to play music. With inspiration from Tim Edey, Aaron honed his skills during lockdown and is now making a name for himself as a talented and innovative musician.
Sir-Reel Clarks are a sought-after festival band that last year alone performed at Broadstairs Folk Week, Wimborne Minster Folk Festival, Speyfest, Haal Folk Festival, and Tin Hut Mini Festival, as well as various folk club concerts throughout Scotland.
Robyn Smith
is a rising singer-songwriter from Dunfermline, Scotland, drawing inspiration from the rich storytelling of folk and country. Rooted in Americana, her honeyed vocals have drawn comparisons to Alison Krauss and Shania Twain, while influences like Dolly Parton, traditional folk melodies, and songs from the 70s shape her signature sound.
Her 2021 debut EP, Open Eyes, gained widespread recognition with airplay on BBC Radio Scotland’s Iain Anderson Show and Another Country with Ricky Ross, marking her as an artist to watch. She built on that momentum with her latest EP, Muse, which had a sold-out launch at Edinburgh’s iconic Voodoo Rooms, a night that left the crowd spellbound and cemented her place in Scotland’s vibrant music scene.
