From Mersea Island in Essex this new and exciting duo, Wilswood Buoys, are currently cutting their name into the UK underground scene. Mixing trad folk, with modern alternative acoustic pop, the band have a sound that’s raw, fresh, familiar, and accessible. Josh and Joe are a couple of mates who got together for a jam and saw things quickly escalate into writing music and playing local gigs. Both have different musical influences, leading them down a path of intertwined genres worked into one with a thread of catchy riffs, natural chemistry, and big, bold choruses. 2024 saw the band burst onto the UK festival circuit playing 14 festivals including Beautiful Days, Wickham Festival, Solfest and Ely Folk Festival. They have also supported the Lottery Winners, Newton Faulkner & The Levellers. Keep your eyes on these guys – there’s loads more to come! “… melodic, foot-stamping folk” – Americana UK. Wilswood Buoys will perform on Peregrine stage on Saturday evening.
