Martin Simpson

We are honoured to welcome one of England’s most treasured folk artists to Greenhill Fields this July.

Guitar legend Martin Simpson brings his tunes to the Trowbridge Festival ahead of his new album Some Kind of Jubilee, a record marking 50 years since his debut, and what he calls his best work yet. Expect a relaxed Sunday afternoon of extraordinary music and intimate performances from one of England’s most treasured folk artists.

Liam Vincent & The Odd Foxes

Friday evening sees the arrival of one of the more striking outfits on the scene.

Liam Vincent & The Odd Foxes bring their raw, high-energy sound to Trowbridge, delivering a set packed with gritty riffs, driving rhythms, and violin-led melodies. Their songs weave together themes of social justice, personal reflection, and a deep-rooted desire for change, delivering a powerful message of defiance, hope, and a call to action in a fractured world.

While & Matthews

Saturday afternoon brings one of the finest and most loved duos on the British and international folk and roots scene.

While & Matthews bring their stunning harmonies to the Trowbridge Festival in what is sure to be a highlight of the weekend. Renowned for their exquisite songwriting and beautifully crafted arrangements, their songs weave together themes of love, resilience, and the human experience, creating a set rich in warmth and timeless musicality.

Terry Hill Big Band

What better way to ease into Sunday than with a touch of vintage swing?

Local Somerset favourites the Terry Hill Big Band bring a celebration of the golden age of big band music to the Trowbridge Festival. Formed in the late nineties for a one-off evening of wartime hits, this remarkable 22-piece ensemble is still going strong nearly 30 years on, proof of its enduring charm and community spirit.

Issy & David Emeney

Rounding out a wonderful Sunday line-up comes a duo with roots deep in the English folk tradition.

Issy & David Emeney bring their distinctive sound to the Trowbridge Festival early on Sunday afternoon. Originally from Suffolk and now based in Biddisham, Somerset, they have spent the past 25 years building a rich musical life rooted in English traditional folk song.
