Captivating songwriting and fiery tunes that combine mandolin, fiddle, guitar and
banjo with powerful three-part harmonies, the unmistakable sound of The Shackleton Trio brings to life the stories of their native East Anglia, and beyond.
The trio features Georgia Shackleton (fiddle, vocals), Aaren Bennett (guitar) and Nic
Zuppardi (mandolin and banjo). Collectively, the band draw influence from British,
American and Scandinavian folk traditions, whilst Georgia’s flair for sourcing largely
unsung material from East Anglia keeps the band firmly rooted in their local tradition.
2025 sees the trio touring a brand-new album, as they celebrate their 10-year
anniversary. A decade performing together has included plays on BBC Radio 2,
Radio 3 and Radio 4, BBC 6 Music, RTE 1, BBC Countryfile, press coverage with
gleaming ★★★★★ reviews, an appearance on Cambridge Folk Festival’s prestigious
main stage, a host of UK and European festivals and international tours, and many
miles on the road.
