The Shackleton Trio

Colchester Arts Centre, 18 May 2026


Tickets £12 / £11 concessions.
Doors open 7.30pm, starts 8pm.
This gig is for a seated audience.

Captivating songwriting and fiery tunes that combine mandolin, fiddle, guitar and banjo with powerful three part harmonies. The unmistakable sound of The Shackleton Trio brings to life the stories of their native East Anglia, and beyond.

The trio features Georgia Shackleton (fiddle, vocals), Aaren Bennett (guitar) and Nic Zuppardi (mandolin and banjo). Collectively the band draw influence from British, American and Scandinavian folk traditions, whilst Georgia’s flair for sourcing largely unsung material from East Anglia keeps the band firmly rooted in their local tradition.

2025 sees the trio touring a brand new album, as they celebrate their 10 year anniversary. A decade performing together has included plays on BBC Radio 2, Radio 3 and Radio 4, BBC 6 Music, RTE 1, BBC Countryfile, press coverage with gleaming ★★★★★ reviews, an appearance on Cambridge Folk Festival’s prestigious main stage, a host of UK and European festivals and international tours, and many miles on the road.

This is a band that clearly enjoys playing together, and are not to be missed.
