A multinational folk trio based in Switzerland, specialising in vocal close harmonies, trad and originals with the occasional pop classic.
Taradiddle’s signature close vocal harmonies are what make this trio’s performances truly memorable. Based in the Swiss canton of Bern, they enjoyed their debut UK tour in the spring of 2024 and they are looking forward to sharing their musical
passion in England in August and September 2025.
Stephen Ferron, guitar and vocals, is originally from Colorado. He has performed in 49 American states, Asia, and extensively in Europe/the UK. Production credits include albums with Grammy-winning guitarist Pat Donohue, Taradiddle, and piles of commercials. He now lives happily in Switzerland, where he quietly bosses his Taradiddle colleagues around.
Monika “Mo” Brändli, vocals, has been a part of a number of recording projects, from kids’ music in Swiss German to a harp-driven Americana album produced in Nashville on which she co-wrote several of the songs. She has also lent her vocal support to a range of artists touring in Switzerland and divides her time between music and her passion for nature and animals.
Franz Andres Morrissey, guitar, mandola, occasional Anglo concertina and vocals, has performed with a variety of Swiss folk and blues bands while maintaining a perfectly grown-up career in linguistics, musicology and creative writing. An award-winning playwright, Franz has written several one-act plays and three well-received fairy tale musicals.

See Access, Tickets & Finding Us for more about why there are three ticket prices, plus other useful info about coming to events at Ashburton Arts Centre: getting here, parking, loos, PA tickets, etc.
* We usually have three ticket prices – please pay what you can. If you can pay the full price, that’s great. If choosing a cheaper ticket allows you to come to more things, then please do! Ticket receipts are split between the artists (it’s usually their livelihood!) and the arts centre (keeps the place going). Except on the rare occasions when we have a sellout gig on our hands, it’s always better to have someone here in the audience than an empty seat, so genuinely, please pay whatever you can.
