The Silver Wye is a new name Wes Finch is working under whilst exploring a more electric and electronic sound. Moving away from the 'folk' label The Silver Wye is a project is a chance for him to collaborate with other musicians and write and perform in a different way offering him a new creative challenge.
The first Silver Wye single “Pick Me Up” (released in November 2018) was a collaboration with Leo Steeds and Luke Dibbs at The Milking Parlour Studio in Warwickshire. The second single “You Are Light” (October 2019) was from a session recorded at Crooked Room studio in Yorkshire with producer Isaac McInnes and Bradley Blackwell, bassist in The Howl & The Hum. “Just My Luck” is also from that session.
The Silver Wye are currently playing and recording new ideas at the Milking Parlour with a view to playing live as a 4 piece in 2020
