Charm of Finches is a folk-pop duo made up of the sisters Mabel and Ivy, who are Australian but now live in Glasgow. Harmony between the two voices is central to their sound, and the duo has toured the UK, mainland Europe and Canada over several years. The Live Room@Caroline Social Club in Shipley hosts concerts and shows, and this performance takes place there.

Their fourth studio album, Marlinchen In The Snow, was the focus of a tour in 2024. The duo's latest single, Meteor, draws on the forces of nature as a way of describing an unsettled inner life. It was recorded beside the ocean in Victoria and mixed in Canada by Daniel Ledwell, who also produced their two previous albums. Meteor is the first of several new releases planned for 2026.

The duo has received Best Folk Album at the Australian Folk Music Awards and Best Folk Act from Music Victoria, and has been nominated twice for the Australian Music Prize. Reviewers have described their music as folk with an emotional, affecting quality, with passages that move into ethereal, melodic territory.
