Listen to our latest Folk Show featuring music from The Rheingans Sisters, David Grubb, Andrew Wasylyk and Tommy Perman, Jacken Elswyth, Henry Parker & David Ian Roberts, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Jack Bunch, AJ Woods, John Patrick Elliott, and Myles O’Reilly.
While Ash Grey and the Gull Glides On may appear as a head-on collision between Andrew Wasylyk’s downbeat neoclassical folktronica and Tommy Perman’s post-club, percussion-heavy ambient constructions, under the surface, there is the faint but delicious hint of the golden age of avant-garde music.
While it’s probably fair to say that Si Kahn’s name is not as popularly well-known as that of Seeger or Guthrie, as Labor Day – and the many albums before it – unequivocally demonstrates, he’s every inch their equal.
Taken from their forthcoming new album ‘Start Close In’, watch The Rheingans Sisters’ video for their new single ‘Drink Up’, which sums up “what it feels like to live in this late – but never seeming to end! – capitalist era.”
Johnny Whalley catches up with Scottish fiddler Ryan Young, who chats about learning to play the fiddle again and how one of his big heroes, Martin Hayes, will produce and perform on his third album.
Nadia Reid signs with Chrysalis Records and shares her powerful new single, Changed Unchained, marking the closing of a chapter as she embraces a fuller sound. Watch the accompanying video by Shea McCrystal.
Chasing Light, the new instrumental duo album from Henry Parker & David Ian Roberts is a rich, fulfilling work by two intuitive players operating at a very high level and seemingly enjoying every moment.
Following their highly acclaimed 2022 album “Ink Of The Rosy Morning”, UK-based folk duo Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage return this month with their 4th full-length album In The Dark We Grow. Watch the accompanying video to their vibrant new single “The Youngest Sailor”.
at Eulogy, the latest live album from the folk alternative experimental trio ‘Setting’ (ft. Nathan Bowles, Jaime Fennelly & Joe Westerlund) is a hell of a journey…get lost in a strange, mesmerising and quite beautiful soundscape.
East Anglian folk duo Honey & The Bear deliver a beautiful cover of Sandy Denny’s timeless classic ‘Who Knows Where The Time Goes’. The accompanying video was filmed before the duo’s show at Folkeast 2024 in the gorgeous landscape of The Glemham Hall Estate.
John Spillane announces a hugely ambitious concept album – a two-hour Gaelic folk opera ‘Fíoruisce – The Legend of the Lough’ and shares the first track and video, ‘Réamhcheol/Overture’, featuring Niamh Farrell and Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin.
While Dorothy Carter missed out on experiencing the sudden mad rush of creativity that her music helped to inspire, the reissue of Troubadour, with its singular, strange and beautiful tunes, is a good sign that her star is once again in the ascendency.
