Phil and Bridget are the Scarborough based harp, guitar and vocal duo, aka The Blow-ins. They play a varied mix of traditional, contemporary, and original folk songs and tunes with a strong sense of place. A musical journey with The Blow-ins takes you from ancient love songs to contemporary protest with quiet humour and powerful emotion.
They are increasingly well known on the UK festival circuit and it’s great to have them back at The Mayfly following their very popular performance here last year.

The Mayfly exists to bring high-quality arts and creativity to the local community. It is essential that our programme is accessible to all comers, regardless of their ability to pay. At the same time, we see it as equally crucial that our artists are paid properly for the work they produce and perform with us.
With this in mind, for entry to our ticketed events, we invite you to contribute what payment you are able. Please be mindful that our artists are independent freelancers who need to make a living. We all want both them and The Mayfly to thrive and prosper.
Pay a little if you don’t have a lot; pay generously if you can afford to. And there is always a donation pot in the café to help put on future events. Thank you.
