Guest Artists Sound of the Sirens:
MOTHERS / FOLK ROCK DUO
Sound of the Sirens are a singer-songwriting duo based in Devon comprising of Abbe Wood & Hannah Walker. Honing their craft over the past decade, they have cemented themselves as firm favourites as “one of the UK’s finest folk acts” locally and inter/nationally too. Abbe (pictured right) plays acoustic and high-strung (Nashville tuning) guitar, mandolin, and bass drum, while partner in crime Hannah (pictured left) plays acoustic and electric guitar, tambourine, snare drum, and the piano. The pairs’ musical and vocal dexterity dovetail beautifully on the co-written songs, which range from beautiful, emotive ballads, to up-beat, foot stomping, hands in the air, sing-along anthems. In 2024 they co-headlined the first Daylight Sessions Music at Exeter Phoenix, nearly causing a riot as kids queued to join them on stage and play the drums.
In this special Songwriting Masterclass Abbe and Hannah will share their approaches of songwriting from page to stage.
