With exceptional musicianship and boundless energy, Granny’s Attic are going from strength to  strength. Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne (melodeon, anglo concertina, vocals), George  Sansome (guitar, vocals) and Lewis Wood (violin, vocals) have honed their skills touring the UK  and Europe since 2009. They are much loved by audiences up and down the country, with  bookings everywhere from Cambridge Folk Festival to Cecil Sharp House.  

The trio have been heralded for their lively performances and skilled delivery of traditional  material, playing with verve, energy and their own inimitable style. Though grounded in tradition,  they are keen to push new boundaries by exploring fresh approaches and writing their own  compositions. In October 2021, they released The Brickfields, an instrumental collection that  saw them reach new heights as both composers and performers. This was followed up in 2025  by Cold Blows the Wind, an album of largely traditional material which went down a storm with  reviewers and audiences alike.  

Described by KLOF Magazine as “one of the most exciting and accomplished English folk acts  on the scene right now”, this outstanding trio can hold audiences in the palm of their hand.
