It’s time for a visit from a familiar face, as one of our regular MCs, Alex Cumming, launches his new album Homecoming. The album was recorded and produced by our Technical Manager, Pete Ord, so this gig is set to be an extra special one for the Live to Your Living Room team!

Alex Cumming is a traditional singer, accordionist, pianist and dance caller hailing from Somerset, England, and now living in Brattleboro VT, USA. He performs songs and tunes from around the United Kingdom and America with a great depth of knowledge of the tradition. Alex has made his mark on the folk scene with his rhythmic dance-able accordion style, strong voice and his fun and engaging stage presence.

After over a decade of recording albums and touring with various bands, March 2024 sees Alex release his much anticipated debut solo album, Homecoming, featuring fiddler Audrey Jaber (Wake Up Robin, Free Raisins), guitarist Max Newman (Stringrays, Nor’Easter) and regular recording collaborator Pete Ord (Haystack Records).

Alex is a member of Celtic trio Bellwether (with Louise Bichan, Eric McDonald), award-winning a capella quartet The Teacups and critically acclaimed duo Alex Cumming & Nicola Beazley. You may also catch him playing for dances in many combos, including Stuart Kenney’s Red Case Band and fiddle led trio Crossover. He is also Artistic Director for Revels North.

As well as performing live, Alex has starred in prime-time TV shows including BBCs Edwardian Farm and played live sessions for BBC Radio. In 2014, Alex obtained a BMus Hons. in Folk & Traditional Music from Newcastle University, the only degree program of its type in England at the time.
