The Third Half

The Third Half spin an entrancing web of harp, guitar, and angelic vocals and have already made an impact at ambient electronica and roots festivals. Recent work includes contributions to albums by Reverend and the Makers, I Monster and Animat, who will be joining them for an exclusive live set at Beacons.

‘When the songs end you suddenly find yourself back in the room, slightly disorientated as if emerging from an intense daydream’ – Jay Cousins, Melting Point
