Canadian singer-songwriter, poet, activist and multi-instrumentalist Allison Russell shares a video for her irresistible new single ‘Snakelife’; …a conjuring; a summoning; a spell; an invocation of the Afro-Future-Rainbow-Coalition-Transformative.

Robbie Robertson, Canadian lead guitarist and principal songwriter of The Band, has died at age 80. We share some magic moments with Bob Dylan and The Band, including The Basement Tapes, when Dylan went electric, and the legendary 1971 Academy Of Music concerts.

Michele Stodart shares the video for ‘Tell Me’, a brave conversation between the truth and lies of a relationship… It’s the first single released from her new album ‘Invitation’, reflecting motherhood, relationships, mental health, transformation, endings and new beginnings.

In the run-up to his Moseley Folk headline appearance, Graham Nash talks to Folk Radio about politics, old friends, and the magic of music – “It’s the duty of every artist to reflect the times in which we live.”

Myles O’Reilly recalls some of the magical moments experienced with Rónán Ó Snodaigh while making their new album, ‘The Beautiful Road’, at a “quaint cabin, isolated from the world’s noise…where boundaries between reality and imagination blur”.

Ahead of his appearance at the Green Man Festival and a string of UK dates, Spencer Cullum shares his new single ‘Could We, Canvey’, a song about visiting his father’s childhood home of Canvey Island, Essex.

The Endless Coloured Ways is a brilliantly realised, perfectly sequenced tribute that, because of the sheer creative variety on show, never spills over into hagiography, and always prioritises Nick Drake’s musical heritage over the cult of his personal history.
