Long Bio
Threaded are a folk- fusion acoustic trio that create and perform music inspired by world folk culture, nature, stories and personal experiences. Their original compositions fuse influences from traditional folk, classical music and world soundscapes, which has culminated in their unique and distinctive sound.
Threaded is the 'impressive talent' (Folk Radio UK), of Jamie Rutherford (guitar/lead vocals), Ning- ning Li (violin/vocals) and Rosie Rutherford (clarinet/bass clarinet/ vocals). They have released three albums, When The Raven Comes Calling (2019) Fair Winds & Following Seas (2017) and of what we spoke in (2015), which have all been received with great critical acclaim. They have toured the UK extensively and are currently working on their 4th album which they hope will be released summer 2024.
Threaded’s show is full to the brim of energy, emotion, passion and reflection, delivered with an outstanding level of musicianship. From foot-stomping jigs to poignant ayres and soulful songs, Threaded’s set has something for everyone.
