YOUR GUEST MUSICIAN, HOST & NIGHTINGALE
Finnegan Tui is an indie artist whose music grows out of a childhood spent close to nature and a lifelong pull toward bringing people together through song. Rooted in indie folk, his work is pushed forward by bold, cinematic electronics, intimate at its core, expansive in its reach.
The Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos) is a small, brown, unremarkable-looking bird, but they possess one of nature’s finest singing voices. The English population winters in Sub-Saharan Africa in the western countries like Sierra Leon and Senegal, returning to the very same thicket they were born in arriving in early to mid-April. They spend April to the end of May mating and nesting where we can encounter the extraordinary display of the males’ courtship song, famous for his all-night broadcast.
Sam is a folksinger, song collector, activist, nature conservationist, guide, and presenter. With three critically acclaimed albums - his debut receiving a Mercury Music Prize nomination - he works holistically in challenging the sound and purpose of our indigenous music in the 21st Century.
