The Blow-ins, based in Scarborough, make gentle acoustic music with Celtic harp, guitar and voices. We are known for original, high-quality work; our eclectic mix of old and new folk songs and mesmerising harp/guitar duets has been heard by a rapidly growing number of appreciative festival and folk club audiences across the country. 

A musical journey with the Blow-ins takes you from ancient love songs to contemporary protest with quiet humour and powerful emotion.
