THE Woolverstones, an alternative folk duo formed in late 2019, will be performing at the Acorn Theatre on Sunday, March 29.
Jenny Bishop and Barry Hunt are steadily carving out a name for themselves on the international folk scene.
Their debut single, A Song For Harlequins, garnered radio play across the UK, North America, and beyond, drawing praise from icons like The Byrds and members of Woodstock legends Country Joe and the Fish.
Their critically acclaimed debut album, Grey Eyed Dandy (2022), produced by legendary producer John Wood, earned praise from critics, and one track from the album was named Track of the Week on BBC Introducing.
The title track, ‘Grey Eyed Dandy’, was also featured on Fruits de Mer Records' 2025 compilation, In The Year 2025, further cementing the duo’s place in the modern folk landscape.
Fresh off major performances at Cambridge Folk Festival, a UK headline tour, and international dates across Hungary, Ireland, Germany, and Italy, The Woolverstones continue to enchant audiences with their cinematic songwriting and harmony-rich sound.
With new material on the horizon, The Woolverstones are proving that modern folk can be both deeply rooted and boldly forward-looking.
Jenny Bishop is a songwriter, performer, media composer and sound designer based in Cornwall.
She is best known for performing with a live-looping rig, with which she creates emotive music with soaring melodies, layers of harmony and innovative uses of sound.
