HowTheLightGetsIn: The Philosophy Festival at Hay

Rousing, complex folk to get lost in and dance to from the brilliant Roots Union.

Their Glastonbury performances have been responsible for various 5am revelations and quite rightly attract a cult following in the folk and festival worlds. The Roots Union’s blend of violins, harmonica, and four-part harmonies results in the sort of rousing, thoughtful and complex folk that, although entirely acoustic, is anthemic and infectiously danceable.
