MFF26: BEN P WILLIAMS + FIONNUALA MARY BRADBURY
Fionnuala Mary Bradbury
Fionnuala Mary Bradbury is a singer songwriter from Manchester. Her sound comes from the local Irish traditional folk scene she grew up in, and the jazz music she found a love for later on. She uses the guitar, piano, and violin to write and perform her songs, and is inspired by all sorts – real life, films, the archaeology she studied at university. Her recordings of traditional folk songs, made with the help of Michael McGoldrick, have been played on BBC Radio Ulster and BBC Radio 2’s Folk Show.
Ben P Williams
Ben P Williams is a Manchester-based singer-songwriter known for crafting songs with honesty in the middle and mischief around the edges. Since releasing his debut album Who Do You Think You Are? in 2015, he’s built a loyal following with his blend of folk, acoustic and soul influences, drawing comparisons to Paul Simon and Jack Johnson. His music has been championed by BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music and BBC Introducing, while his live performances — whether solo or with his band — are praised for their warmth, humour and heartfelt delivery. With five albums under his belt, including his latest release Benthusiasm, Ben continues to tour the UK and beyond, winning over audiences one song at a time.
