Controlled Burn

Arthur Coates & Kerran Cotterell are a dynamic two-man trad force, combining fiddle, guitar, foot percussion, and rich vocal harmonies into a sound that feels far bigger than two performers. Rooted in traditional folk but powered by modern groove, they blend original compositions with tunes gathered from the folk wilds, delivered with offbeat charm, sharp storytelling, and infectious energy.
From driving reels and foot-stomping rhythms to bluesy detours and unexpected jazz-tinged twists, their live shows are packed with musical turns that keep audiences hooked. Festival favourites across the UK and beyond, Arthur and Kerran bring tradition joyfully sideways guaranteed to get toes tapping, faces smiling, and the whole room leaning in.
