The Shackleton Trio are known for their vibrant songwriting, fiery musicianship and close three-part harmonies.
Weaving together mandolin, fiddle, guitar and banjo, their distinctive sound tells stories rooted in East Anglia, while reaching far beyond it. Above all, this is a band with a palpable on-stage chemistry. Engaging, inventive and unmissable live.
The trio brings together Georgia Shackleton (fiddle, vocals), Aaren Bennett (guitar) and Nic Zuppardi (mandolin, banjo). Drawing on British, American and Scandinavian folk traditions, the band balance deep respect for the past with a fresh, contemporary approach. Georgia’s flair for uncovering lesser-heard East Anglian material keeps the music grounded in place, while the trio’s arrangements feel modern, dynamic and alive.
The Shackleton Trio have featured on BBC Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4, BBC 6 Music, RTÉ Radio 1 and BBC Countryfile, alongside widespread critical acclaim. Their live highlights range from the prestigious main stage at Cambridge Folk Festival to major UK and European festivals and international touring.
