The Rheingans Sisters
Global/Folk Thu 18 Sep 2025, 7:45pm The ForgeThe Rheingans Sisters remain one of the most visionary acts on the British folk scene today.
Previous winners of BBC Radio 2's Folk Award for Best Original Track, and nominees for Best Band, with their distinctive blended sound of fiddles, voices, feet, banjos, electric guitar, synths, and the powerful bass drones of the medieval tambourin à cordes,
The sisters' new live show is an immersive and uplifting musical journey. Taking in baroque fiddle tunes and trance beats, metal-inspired arrangements of traditional ballads, and improvisations with phone voice notes, Rowan and Anna once again make music like painters; revealing in bold colours the next soaring chapter in their unmistakable brand of avant-garde trad, blending ancient song and universal stories with future imaginings, dystopias, and dreams.
