The Lost Trades

About

An exciting Folk and Roots trio who recently released their second album Petrichor. The Lost Trades are at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Saturday 27 April at 7.30pm. Tickets are £15.

The Lost Trades are a vocal harmony trio with a cool Laurel Canyon vibe. Three Wiltshire based singer songwriters (Jamie R Hawkins, Phil Cooper and Tamsin Quin) were brought together by a mutual love of modern folk and roots music. They joined forces in late 2019 for a three part harmony, modern folk adventure.

With a sound that is reminiscent of the California folk scene of the late 60s / early 70s, their vocal harmonies have been described as flawless, spine tingling and magical.

After a global pandemic cut short their first tour after just a single sold out gig, the band retreated to their songwriting rooms to work on their debut album. The Bird, The Book & The Barrel was released in June 2021 and was well received, spending 8 months in the Official UK Folk Albums Chart.

The follow up album Petrichor was released in March 2023 and immediately followed suit, entering the charts at number 31.

A live performance involves easy interchanging of instruments, with each of the three guitar, bass and percussion at different points. There’s always a fun intimacy to the show, with the three engaging in comfortable repartee with each other and the audience like a group of old friends.

They perform live in the intimate studio setting at Norden Farm.
