Seth and Chris from Filkin's Drift are kicking off episode 1 of the Sustainability in the Live Music Industry series on Earth Care. In this episode, they discuss their transition to sustainable touring in the live music industry. They share their experience of planning and embarking on an 870-mile walking tour, carrying their equipment and facing challenges along the way. The conversation highlights the importance of sustainability and the inspiration they found in meeting people living sustainably. They also discuss future plans for more sustainable tours and offer advice for artists interested in integrating sustainability into their music careers. Band Bio: Filkin's Drift weave together intricate melodies from the folklore of their homes, Wales and Gloucestershire. Their music combines the traditional and the contemporary, blending fiddle and guitar with their close vocal harmonies.  The duo take you on a journey from delicate Welsh folk-songs to traditional English dance tunes. Ornate interplay between two instruments conjures up a Baroque soundworld, while their soaring fiddle tunes have been igniting audiences across the UK.  Connect with Filkin’s Drift: Youtube & Instagram Learn more about: Live Music Now MORE FROM SARAH: Take the FREE #FansChooseToReuse pledge here and commit to reducing plastic bottle pollution at live music events!
