‘Piskey Led are four young musicians who formed in Cardiff in late 2021; they showcase a highly entertaining and absorbing mixture of original and traditional music, influenced by the folk traditions of Cornwall, Northern England and Ireland. The personnel are Cornishwoman Katie Lower on flute, whistles and piano, Lancastrian Josh Goodey on double bass, harmonium and mandocello and two Ulstermen, guitarist James Bower and Chris Mercer on mandolin, bouzouki, harmonicas and bodhrán; the band has played at a number of Welsh festivals, including Devauden, How The Light Gets In at Hay on Wye and Folk On The Lawn in Tintern, and they launched their eponymous debut album at the Norwegian Church Arts Centre in Cardiff Bay in August [2023]. Suffice it to say that it really is a little cracker’ – -Mick Tems, FolkWales

 Piskey Led’s debut album is now available on all streaming platforms, and has received airtime across the UK and North America, on shows such as BBC Celtic Heartbeat, Blues and Roots Radio, BBC Introducing, BGFM, Folk Friday Radio, and the Irish & Celtic Music and Is This Thing On? podcasts. They also played at Purbeck Valley Folk Festival and The Growing Wild Festival, and were nominated by Radio Wigwam for Folk Artist of the Year 2023.

‘I very much like this album… Should you get the opportunity to hear them live I recommend that you do’  -Dai Jeffries, folking.com

 ‘This Piskey Led album is a most enjoyable gathering of songs and tunes, drawn together by a quartet with a shared love of Celtic music and tradition. With an eclectic instrumental line-up, and beautifully matched four-part vocal harmonies, this is a folk album that lets you have both cake and cream tea, and eat them both’ – David Auckland, FATEA

‘Great playing and great singing all around, and a repertoire that will probably be underrepresented in most library collections’. – Rick Anderson, CD Hotlist

‘One of the highlights is Piskey Led pile in with an array of their instruments, and the band completely comes together and knits tightly to bring on a good, rollicking performance. This album proves that we could be hearing much more of James, Josh, Katie and Chris before too long.’ – Mick Tems,  FolkWales

 ‘[A] rather lovely album of fresh and original material delivered with a light touch.’ – Ian Croft, RnR Magazine

 ‘What a heady brew that is… I think that will have set faces smiling across the country.’ Adam Walton, BBC Introducing, on ‘Hwibanowl Nowydh’

‘It’s just good music, isn’t it? …Lovely’. – Nick Tann, Is This Thing On?, on ‘Mousehole’s Joni’
