Southern Tenant Folk Union is a Scottish folk group based in Edinburgh.[1][3][4] The group combines English and Celtic folk sounds with American bluegrass music.[3]
The band was formed by five-string banjo player Pat McGarvey, who was born in Belfast. It takes its name from the multi-racial union of sharecroppers and non-landowning tenant farmers that was founded in Arkansas in the 1930s.[5]
The band performed on BBC One's The Andrew Marr Show on 15 September 2013.[6]
