Harbottle & Jonas @ Nailsea Folk Club

Ring of Bells Ring O’ Bells, 4 St Marys Grove, Nailsea

“Disarmingly honest and spine-tingling’” - RocknReel (R2)

“Awash with strong songs & excellent musicianship” - Folk Radio UK

Harbottle & Jonas, released their new album ‘The Beacon’ in March 2021, the album received widespread rave reviews and charted at No.24 in the ‘Official Folk Charts’. The album was written and recorded at home, and featured collaborator Annie Baylis on violin and backing vocals.
The new album, their fifth, is a collection of songs that seeks to bring comfort, and questions what fire of intention we will light so that our future paths might be more steadfast, clear and community-spirited. Much like the beacons of old that served as a warning with flaming fires, Harbottle & Jonas hope that their new collection of songs written during this period in our history will encourage us to reflect, adapt and sing together once more.
