The Hop

The Hop are an exciting trio recently graduated from the folk degree at Newcastle University. After meeting in the National Youth Folk Ensemble, they developed an impulsive approach to collaborative composition which has led to a plethora of original tunes. Their instrumental versatility allows the band to explore a wide soundscape that maintains their traditional roots with an innovative flair. Not only do they play multiple instruments, including guitar, flute, recorder and fiddle, but their infectious presence onstage is greatened by the use of electric guitar and synthesizers that make for a compelling and complex performance. Combined with their compositional abilities, The Hop bring a new perspective to the folk tradition, with music that can appeal to all ages.
