About

Trio bring their signature California sound to Maidenhead

The Lost Trades are a Folk / Americana trio, based in the West Country with cool Laurel Canyon vibes. They return to Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Thursday 23 April at 8pm. Tickets are £16.50.

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

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. 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.

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

Don’t miss this live performance in Norden Farm’s intimate Studio setting.
