The Lost Trades

About

The Lost Trades are the trio of Wiltshire based singer songwriters, Jamie R Hawkins, Phil Cooper and Tamsin Quin, brought together by a mutual love of modern folk and roots music. Having joined forces in late 2019, their close three part harmonies have consistently drawn comparisons to Crosby Stills & Nash and Fleetwood Mac.

Performing both collectively and individually penned songs, The Lost Trades tell carefully crafted stories using an array of stringed instruments and light percussion, all lovingly stitched together with soaring vocal harmonies.

A global pandemic meant their debut tour in 2020 was cut short and the three retreated to their songwriting rooms and studio in an effort to condense the initial excitement into an album they could tour once the world opened up again. The resulting album is "The Bird, The Book & The Barrel" which was released in June 2021. The album reached the Top 40 Official Folk Album Charts for September 2021 & again in February 2022, after GSMC Music Awards showcased their talent, and the video to the song "Robots" went viral.
