Folk Music

Ooh, fab. I can't make the gig, but look forward to hearing the new stuff.

Thanks mate! Also playing at (Oliver's) Islington Folk Club on 23rd Feb if that was of any interest...

Still a schlep too far from Sheffield!

New Lankum single is cheery.

Picked me right up that has. Ta

My band's just put a new single out. Really pleased with how it's sounding.

That is absolutely beautiful, very relaxing.

Ah mate, thank you, that's really kind.

Good to hear you again! Any more stuff in the pipeline?

Thanks mate! Yeah, we're putting three songs out as singles (feels like we're basically larping as a real band, but it seems you need to do this particular dance with spotify to be considered for their curated playlists, which is a longshot, but would be amazing if we got on one) then the album (mini-album, 7 songs total) out in a month or so.

That's lovely, thanks for sharing it!

Thank you! Really appreciate the listen.

Very much enjoyed this too. Congrats.

Thanks man! Really appreciate that

So soothing, she has a great voice. You must be really pleased with the recent releases.

Like this. Are you guys playing anywhere soon?

I thoroughly enjoyed this programme I stumbled across on Beeb4 recently. Fascinating story of 17th century alehouse shenanigans with great music and generally a lovely vibe. No idea just how authentic all the instruments and arrangements are, but MrsPub did identify some baroque-style violin bows!

I saw one of the previews of the Sweet Thames Project's final performance with Ewan Wardrop last night, at the Cellar Upstairs. It's simply superb, as is the whole project, but the performance is easily its crowning glory. I strongly recommend booking a place for the 3rd June performance at Cecil Sharp House, or to go to one (or both!) of the other two previews today and tomorrow, at Walthamstow and Croydon Folk Clubs, respectively. Full details here:

Honestly, if you like folk music, you'll love it. We couldn't quite believe how good it was.

Really interesting programme, good find.
Not just baroque bows. Baroque fiddles and guitars too.

happy Friday y’all

This pub looks suspiciously like an airport

Loool

Pair of Lankum tickets for sells, this Friday, Manchester.
Pm if interested.
Cheers

I was in Rough Trade in Notting Hill on Friday just browsing and saw a band setting up for a showcase, so I stuck around. It was Brown Horse doing an acoustic set. Had never heard of them but was really impressed with their acoustic fold rock.

Sorry, totally missed this at the time! Next gig is Walthamstow folk club April 14th, more in London in spring, hopefully, then a little south coast tour end of June 👍
