CrossCurrent are an instrumental and vocal group based in the North East of England who play an eclectic mix of acoustic traditional and contemporary music, song and dance. Originating from England, Ireland and the Scottish Borders, the quintet formed their musical friendship at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne where they have recently become the first graduates of the new degree course in folk and traditional music. CrossCurrent have performed at various major festivals and venues throughout the U.K. and Europe and are all accomplished teachers of traditional music. The band were at many festivals this summer, including Warwick, Cambridge and Holmfirth, promoting their debut album which was released in July 2005. Whilst rooted in their own individual styles, it is the innovative crossing of their traditions that makes CrossCurrent such a musically diverse band.
