About the show
Mills and Farrell are a folk duo with a rootsy, minimalist approach rooted in two voices and acoustic instrumentation. The pair — David Farrell from an Australian rock background and Janet Mills from a Nova Scotia folk tradition — have a timeless sound built on intricately woven acoustic guitars and tight harmonies. Their influences include Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, The Milk Carton Kids and the Waifs. The geographical distance between their musical backgrounds gives their modern and traditional offerings an element that defies easy categorisation. The show takes place at the Main Room as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Why see this show?
Two voices, two guitars and a sound that feels lived-in — Mills and Farrell make acoustic folk that is warm, precise and genuinely absorbing.
