Description
- The Lost Trades are a folk/Americana trio based in the West Country, with a cool Laurel Canyon vibe. With a sound that is reminiscent of the California folk scene of the late 60s’s/early 70’s, their three-part harmonies have been described as "flawless", "spine tingling" and "magical".After a global pandemic cut short their first tour after just a single sold-out gig, the band retreated to their songwriting rooms to work on their debut album, The Bird, The Book & The Barrel. The album was released in June 2021 and was well received, spending eight months in the Official UK Folk Albums Chart. The follow-up, Petrichor, was released in March 2023, and immediately followed suit, entering the chart number 31.A live performance involves easy interchanging of instruments, including guitar, ukulele, bass and percussion, at different points. There's always a fun intimacy to the show, with the group engaging in comfortable repartee with each other and the audience like a group of old friends.
