FRUK Premiere: Sam Brookes - Numb (Official Video)

Sam Brookes has released an offical video for the track Numb which we’re very proud to be premiering today on Folk Radio UK. The video is incredible using some very atmospheric cinematography that gives the song that haunting edge which is heightened further by the added instruments over the stripped back version Sam recorded for us back in November last year which we’ve also included below. Numb will be released as a single in October.

Artist of the Month

Martin Simpson – Some Kind of Jubilee

Martin Simpson’s “Some Kind of Jubilee” is a seventeen-song double album, made in the US and the UK to mark half a century since his debut. Veterans and newcomers play alongside him. The music is rich without ever being overplayed, and the vocals are warm and engaging. The album is a real achievement and a career highlight after fifty years. Take a bow.

Good Habits – Better for Now

Good Habits’ “Better for Now” pushes outwards, from festival-ready trance-folk to intimate acoustic balladry. An overriding spirit of positivity runs through songs about body image and burnout, all carried on buoyant melodies. The result is a blend of virtuosity and sheer vitality, making them one of the most exciting bands on the British folk scene right now, and one of the most technically accomplished.
