Whitwell Festival
Whitwell Festival of music 2024
Common Culture are a rousing alternative folk band, fusing traditional and contemporary elements into an upbeat and energetic sound. They are sure to get you in the festival spirit.
Cinematics are an atmospheric alternative rock band with a sound that seamlessly blends gritty alternative rock with introspective lyricism. Cinematics have delivered electrifying live performances at iconic venues such as the Leadmill and are making waves in the scene. Their debut single, ‘Own Me’ was featured on BBC Introducing and they're set to release an EP this summer alongside playing some big festival slots.
Wilswoodbuoys are an acoustic duo, specialising in a modern take on Alternative Folk. They will be bringing their unique sounds and energetic performance to our stage.
The Sweet Trees are a West Yorkshire acoustic collective featuring the honeyed vocal blend of Lizzey Ross, Katie Colbrook and Lloyd Degler, cultivating their own sensitive brand of alt folk rock whilst welcoming some more well-known tunes into their boughs. Lizzey's dizzying lead vocal, at once punchy and ethereal, is the emotive force around which Katie's pristine instrumental flutter and Lloyd's calming strum and hum converge with a
warm and earthy vibrance.

The Blue Carpet Band bringing along their rock n roll outfit, their energy and sound is something you certainly need to experience.
The Leftychris Band's emphasis is the live performance of the songs with the band applying a more ‘in the moment’ style to the structure of the songs. The interplay of instrumentation and genuine listening jammy feel make every gig different and every version of the same song variable.
