In a special guest post, Hannah Martin (Edgelarks, Gigspanner Big Band) talks about her own journey into folk music and how we can better attract younger people into the folk scene.
A simple yet haunting album of emotional and musical depth that underscores both Kirsty Merryn’s consummate musical craftsmanship and her articulacy of the heart.
Having made a name for himself as a successful composer of music for film and television, Roly Witherow has chosen an entirely different direction for his first solo release – traditional folk music. Listen to his rowdy, electric version of Row Bullies Row.
While it took B.Knox a while to stop just writing songs for himself and to have the confidence that others might want to listen to what he had to say, Heartbreak & Landscape is ample evidence of why they will.
Listen to Luka Kuplowsky’s third song from his new EP of reimagined inspirations with Judee Sill’s ‘There’s a Rugged Road’, a soulful stripped-back homage to the treasured songwriter and also our Song of the Day.
Rob Bridge catches up with Cole and Joe from India Electric Co. over Skype for an in-depth chat about ‘The Gap’, their glorious and innovative second album. Plus, watch their new video for album single ‘Great Circles’.
Yann Tiersen, Shirley Collins, Billy Bragg, Tim Burgess, The Breeders, Porridge Radio, Midlake, Nap Eyes, Metronomy, Bing & Ruth & Many More Confirmed For Online Version Of Devon’s Remarkable Independent Festival.
Watch the accompanying video for ‘Man of Light’, the new single from Gitta de Ridder taken from her upcoming eight-track album, called ‘To Our Children’, to be released in monthly instalments to give the stories time to unfold.
The Ledger is a traditional folk song album par-excellence and a work of great distinction. Recommended to anyone who appreciates top-quality music delivered by very fine musicians.
Good Times Older is a winner on many fronts but it also gives us some idea of just how gifted Jack Sharp is as a singer and interpreter of song. We can only hope that his foray into the world of traditional music continues.
Home Waters is Sam Carter’s finest and most confident piece of work so far and best displays the honed talents of this valuable musician. A concise, cohesive and self-assured album that perfectly balances and blends ace song-writing with considered and finely judged arrangements. A must-have.
