The Georgia Shackleton Trio at the Harrison

The well-loved Georgia Shackleton Trio combine vocals, fiddle, guitar, mandolin and banjo to play a blend of old time, bluegrass and self-penned material. Accompanying herself on fiddle, Georgia performs ‘wordy songs about other people’. She takes inspiration from places and faces, as well as the traditional, regional and early 20th century material she also performs.

After studying the highly acclaimed folk and traditional music degree in Newcastle, Georgia has performed in various line ups with an eclectic mix of fantastic musicians. This trio sees her playing alongside Aaren Bennett and Nic Zuppardi on the guitar and mandolin, both seasoned instrumentalists who have played across Europe.

They are an exciting new act securing upcoming gigs in The UK and Europe, and already in demand and getting swiftly booked up for the 2016 Festival season.
