Midnight Skyracer

Midnight Skyracer has been tearing up the UK bluegrass and folk scene since their inception less than two years ago. Their all-star line-up and exciting live performances have sent them racing skywards at an astounding pace, with Leanne Thorose’s powerhouse vocals and driving mandolin; Tabitha Agnew’s sweet voice and virtuosic banjo playing; Eleanor Wilkie’s rock solid bass grooves; Laura Carrivick’s flair, being equally adept on both fiddle and dobro; and twin sister Charlotte’s agility on the guitar, with both sisters filling in the vocal harmonies.

The band became the first in the UK to gain recognition in the 2019 International Bluegrass Music Association’s Momentum awards, with a nomination for best band, as well as one for Tabitha in the instrumentalist category.
