The Fair Rain

Over almost a decade of touring, including appearances at Glastonbury, Celtic Connections and folk festivals across the continent, seven-piece contemporary folk band The Fair Rain has absorbed a rich palette of influences, evolving far beyond their roots in traditional folk music. Previously known as The Old Dance School, the band has three studio albums under its belt, each featured on BBC Radio 2, their evocative songs intelligently weaving together shimmering strings and soaring brass crescendos, bright grooves and floating fiddle melodies.
