Songs of a Secret Garden Eleanor and Gus

I was enchanted and enthralled by this exceptional duo’s soundworld as soon as I heard them. I had to invite them to come to the festival! – Michelle Castelletti

Eleanor Grant (vocals, double bass) & Gus McQuade (guitar) are passionate about showcasing music in its broadest sense. While working together as students at the Royal Academy of Music in London, Eleanor and Gus quickly became aware of a mutual enthusiasm for mixing old with new, and bringing obscure and unknown repertoire to life. This led to the duo becoming recipients of the Musician’s Company New Elizabethan Award, followed by their debut performance at Wigmore Hall in 2023. Since then, they have performed all over the UK, in venues such as St Martin-in-the-Fields (London), Stapleford Granary (Cambridge), and St George’s Bristol.

Full programme coming soon.
