We are delighted to announce…
Edgelarks - described by BBC 6 Music as 'extraordinary,' this is the first chance to see the Radio 2 Folk Award-winning duo of Hannah Martin and Phillip Henry live in London for nearly two years. Edgelarks combine soulful, original songwriting with deep folk roots; and with influences as diverse as Indian classical and American blues, they produce a sound like no other.
The Bookshop Band is the unique musical offspring of award-winning folk songwriters Beth Porter and Ben Please and independent bookshop Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights.
As their name suggests, they derive their songwriting inspiration from books and, inspired by hundreds of authors from Shakespeare to Philip Pullman, have released 13 studio albums featuring many of the authors they have worked with.
The Magpie Arc - Multi-award-winners Martin Simpson (on electric guitar!), Nancy Kerr, Findlay Napier, Alex Hunter and Tom A. Wright mix their unique songwriting styles and musicianship with traditional UK folk sensibilities. In a full-on electric band, they create exciting new music and update the classic 60s and 70s British folk rock sound.
AND one top folk artist yet to be announced...
PLUS Matthew Bannister (BBC Radio and Folk on Foot broadcaster) interviews Ashley 'The Guv'nor' Hutchings in his 80th birthday year.
