Handcrafted music played by a double fiddle section, guitars, accordion, bohdran, whistles and harmonica, carefully woven around shimmering, slipsliding vocal harmonies.
Suntrap perform a mesmerizing array of music including their own material and the best of the traditional and contemporary folk repertoire. The songwriters (Sara Byers and Paul Hoad) create original, innovative works drawing on English song tradition and American Folk & Country.
Suntrap play all over the UK and Europe at major folk festivals, folk clubs and arts centres. When not headlining, Suntrap have supported such major artists as Kate Rusby, Kathryn Tickell, Waterson Carthy, Martin Carthy, The Albion Band, The Oyster Band and Vin Garbett.
Suntrap have been privileged to open Cambridge Folk Festival, Skagen Folk Festival and Warwick Folk Festival.
Radio features have included the Mike Harding Show and a live performance on Radio 4s Loose Ends.
Thanks for your comment! Glad to have found you here on Myspace. I think that short bit of playing was fun, so if you ever feel like adding didge to some of your stuff please let me know!

Superb quality music from all directions.... and great to hear the continuation of a tradition... way too many have been eroded or destroyed in recent years Wishing you well in all future ventures
