Church House Concerts

Julu and Heg,  a couple in life and music, the pair met in a choir whilst living in Bristol. They moved from Bristol to Devon in 2019 in a bid to create a life more connected to community and nature. These themes can be found woven into their music and in their band name (which means “the sound of the wind through the trees”). 

Since then the duo have taken the folk scene by storm with their unusual and fresh approach to folk. They have travelled the UK extensively; from Penzance to the Scottish Hebrides and everywhere in between, putting them firmly on the map as one of the top folk duo’s in the country. Julu and Heg are true story-tellers who champion female characters, creating new narratives for women and unearthing the female heroines of folk. What sets them apart is their wonderful chemistry and charisma on stage, natural humour and two beautifully matched voices. With an unusual mix of cascading, dramatic piano; intricate, fingerstyle guitar; flute, whistles and harmonium, Julu and Heg bring an exciting take on folk storytelling with their evocative and distinctive sound. Their arresting a cappella arrangements have been memorable favourites with audiences.

Known for their chemistry and humour on stage, Suthering’s harmonies soar above the cascading piano and delicate, fingerstyle guitar. It’s the duo’s beautifully matched voices and their fresh approach to folk which makes their songwriting stand out.
