Belfast-based folk singer-songwriter Joshua Burnside signs to the Nettwerk label and releases a double A-Side single. Watch his new video for “Marching Round The Ladies” and listen to “The Good Life”.
On Theo, Luke De-Sciscio tackles the reality of parenthood in a remarkable collection of songs that distils the hopes and fears for an unknown future, what it means to be a father and what it means to be alive in the 21st century.
After a decade, the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards return to the city of Inverness on St Andrews Day (30th November) to once again celebrate and showcase Scotland’s flourishing traditional music scene.
There are so many elements to Naima Bock’s ‘Below a Massive Dark Land’ that it’s a wonder they can all work together, but wonder appears to be a common reaction to Bock’s music. That’s because she takes risks…it confirms her as a major songwriter.
The paths of West Coast canyon dweller Katie Schottland, aka Swimming Bell, and Sheffield-born Cosmic Choogler Bobby Lee are set to converge next month for a co-headline UK tour.
Kathryn Tickell shares her new single, Sycamore Gap, in honour of the tree that was, in a mindless act of vandalism, felled in 2023. She has revealed that the tune will also be on the forthcoming album ‘Return to Kielderside’.
It feels as if the songs on Constant Follower’s ‘The Smile You Send Out Returns To You’ have been nurtured, perhaps subconsciously, over the two decades it took to realise his musical ambitions, resulting in an incredibly moving and distinctive album.
Julian Taylor’s third solo-credited studio release, Pathways, finds him in a reflective mood and ranks him alongside fellow Canadian folk music luminaries Bruce Cockburn, Leonard Cohen, Buffy Sainte-Marie, and Joni Mitchell.
After a four-year music hiatus, BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nominee Jack Cookson returns with his new single Laira, an ode to blissful aimlessness and cycling, in particular through Laira, a district of Plymouth, UK.
Featuring two quiet stalwarts of the instrumental scene, American fiddle player Mike Gangloff and British fingerstyle guitar ace C Joynes, the music of ‘Tom Winter, Tom Spring’ is fluid and confident, balancing dense intensity with lighter foot-tappers and spacious abstracts. It’s quite a thing.
