Daisybell + Rack & Ruin + Phil Benson @ Atherstone Folk Club
May 21 @ 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm

Since forming in 2016, Daisybell have been making waves on the local and national folk scene, delivering performances of passion, wit and raw emotion at clubs from Minehead to Gateshead, Worcester to Sheffield, releasing an EP and a video, fitting in a couple of live radio appearances and drawing acclaim for their “Sing Like A Daisybell” vocal workshops.

To date, the trio have appeared at festivals in Warwick, Broadstairs, Moira, Lichfield, Bromyard, Alcester, Bedworth and more.

Lauded for their song-writing, harmonies, and engaging stage presence, now is a great time to check out their gigs, recordings and social media banter.
