Jackie Luke (hammered dulcimer), Greg Wilson (Celtic harp) and the innovative cellist, Rita Woolhouse make up Australia's most distinctive trio. They boast a unique blend of more than 100 strings. Springtide makes regular appearances at festivals and acoustic events around Australia. They toured England and Ireland in 2015, and have completed a successful tour of New Zealand in May 2016.
