Winners of a 2007 PRSF award for new and original work, LightGarden create genre-defying music with world, classical and folk / traditional influences. They have performed at a range of venues and festivals including the Edinburgh Fringe, Rosslyn Chapel, the BBC Radio 2 award-winning Black Swan Folk Club in York, and Musicport Festival. This was followed by an Arts Council supported tour of churches in November 2008.

They work from an intention to simply create music which they feel connects to heart and body, interweaving overtone chanting with harmonium and assorted stringed instruments.
