Strength.

Love.

Life-affirming folk, blues and Americana.Ferris & Sylvester are a husband-and-wife duo who’ve spent the last 10 years writing, recording and performing music together, building an ever-growing and fiercely loyal fanbase.

Since meeting as solo musicians at London’s blues joint Spiritual Bar, Issy Ferris & Archie Sylvester have released albums and EPs through their label ‘Archtop Records’ and toured the globe playing festivals and selling out venues.

They’ve married and grown a family too.The duo relocated from their makeshift kitchen-studio in Streatham Hill and built a studio/label hub in the west country, writing and recording albums.

Straddling the worlds of folk, blues, soul and Americana, honest storytelling that is at the centre of all they do.Issy and Archie’s third studio album titled, ‘It’s A Joy To Be Alive’ explores finding hope and joy in the darkest parts of life, inspired by the duo’s own experiences in music, marriage and parenthood.

Written and recorded in their studio and released through their label Archtop Records, this latest album is both their strongest and most vulnerable.Presented by The Glasshouse International Centre for Music.Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult
