October 14th 2026 - Dan Wilde
Wrea Green Institute, Station Road,
Wrea Green, Preston, PR4 2PH
Dan Wilde is a Lancashire-based singer-songwriter known for his richly observant songwriting and stunning, Fylde-endorsed guitar playing. Originally from Blackpool, his music has taken him on tours all over Europe and the US. He’s played at some of the biggest UK folk festivals including Beverley Folk Festival, Kendal Calling and Cambridge Folk Festival, as well as provided support for artists like Rick Astley, Ethan Johns, John Smith, Karine Polwart and Cara Dillon to name a few.
After a successful run of three studio albums, Dan took a step back from touring to focus on producing and recording other artists whilst living in Cambridge. Now back in Lancashire, with his sonic instincts sharper than ever, he is returning to his own music. Dan is currently crafting his highly anticipated fourth release, with an album expected by the end of 2026.

November 11th 2026 - Findlay Napier
Wrea Green Institute, Station Road,
Wrea Green, Preston, PR4 2PH
Winner of the MG Alba Composer of the Year 2025 Findlay Napier is widely regarded as one of the
finest performers on the UK music scene. He is as comfortable on the main Stage of Cambridge
Folk Festival with folk rock supergroup The Magpie Arc as he is in an intimate acoustic show in
the back room of a pub. This fact was further highlighted when Napier was the first solo act ever
to be nominated for Live Act of the Year at the Scot’s Trad Music awards in 2018.
In 2025 he was chosen, alongside Kate Rusby and Richard Thompson, to compose an original
song for BBC Radio 2’s “21st Century Folk”. He performed his song “Firecracker” on live on The
Jeremy Vine Show and BBC Radio 4’s Front Row.
