Kyntra debut album launch + support Parts & Spares

Award winning instrumentalists Elliott Morris (guitar) and Henry Webster (violin) launch their long-awaited debut album As It Is Now, As It Was Then. Expect moody instrumental music with traditional sensibilities for contemporary ears.

Contrasting reflective original melodies with frenzied, driving rhythms their debut record, and their live shows both calm the soul and whip up a storm. Kyntra promise a sound that’s as timeless as it is cutting-edge - a captivating mix of tradition and innovation.

They are beginning to grow an impressive CV. Having performed at prestigious festivals and warmed up crowds at sell-out shows supporting Talisk, Project Smok, and more, they are fast approaching 200,000 Spotify streams, return to Germany for headline shows and perform at Celtic Connections for this first time in 2026.

Their debut album As It Is Now, As It Was Then, recorded at the legendary Castlesound Studios in Scotland, promises to capture the energy and atmosphere that has come to define their live performances.

Parts & Spares are a London-based folk-pop trio blending acoustic nostalgia with a contemporary edge. The band formed when Frida Jones (vocals), her dad Luther (songwriter/guitarist), and her girlfriend Kaisha McGroarty (multi-instrumentalist) began playing music together — a natural extension of the years they’ve spent growing up alongside each other. Their bond runs deep, shaped by the shared experience of navigating love, pain, joy and change — across generations and relationships — and that emotional honesty lies at the heart of every song.

The band’s sound is built on Frida’s resonant, expressive voice — full of warmth and edge — paired with distinct melodies and arrangements that blend their acoustic folk roots with a modern mix of pop clarity and indie texture. It’s a sound shaped by their shared connection and lived experience, with influences spanning from the ’60s to today — including Bob Dylan, Angie McMahon, Bon Iver, Big Thief, and Florence + The Machine. Their live sets carry the same emotional weight as their recordings — intimate, raw, and deeply felt. With just four tracks out, they’ve all already been picked up by BBC Introducing and Future Hits Radio — and there’s more to come. Parts & Spares make music that feels lived-in — a love letter to instinct, emotion, and letting go.
