A hugely talented melodeon and fiddle player (as well as mandolin, four and five-string banjo and bouzouki) with an incredible repertoire of tunes, folk musician Will Allen recently released his debut solo album ‘English Fiddle‘. Based in the South East, Will was shortlisted for the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award Competition in 2015 and has a repertoire of tunes not just from England but also from Ireland and Scotland. He has played for ceilidhs, morris and concerts and at this year’s Folk Week, he’s bringing his band Cafe Debris too.
