Beth Brooks (vocals), James Knight (guitar and vocals), and Adam Phillips (guitar and vocals) have been honing their blend of blues, soul and folk for many years in different line-ups but have recently found the real magic (and national recognition) as an acoustic trio. The Swaps build most of their music around Beth’s jaw-dropping vocals and the instinctive guitar interplay between James and Adam. The dynamics and variety of textures they achieve with only two instruments and three voices is astonishing. All three are songwriters, which perhaps explains the variety and exceptional quality of the material on their “SWAPS LIVE” album. Recorded at the Upton Blues Festival in 2024, this is the first recording they have released as a trio. Their new album “Fast Train” is out now.

A queer, nu-folk, singer-songwriter with a voice like complex coffee, Gráinne Hunt is a standout among Ireland’s most compelling vocalists and songwriters – blending raw emotion with a quiet, commanding power. Gráinne’s solid reputation has landed her onto stages with Glenn Hansard and U2, and opening slots for Gladys Knight and Eagle-Eye Cherry.
Her original music is anchored in deeply personal experiences; Gráinne writes on themes of identity, pain, longing, resilience, and joy. This emotional honesty and storytelling depth have earned her comparisons to Tracy Chapman and Natalie Merchant.
Together with San Diego-based drummer and vocalist Jules Stewart, the pair create a sound rich in harmonies, heartfelt stories and magnetic onstage chemistry. With extensive tours in the United States and Australia during the first quarter of 2026, Gráinne’s place as a rising force on the international folk scene is cemented.
