ARK are a new folk music trio featuring Kevin Lees on Fiddle from England, Annmarie Grams on Flute from Germany and Rasmus Nielsen on Piano and Guitar from Denmark. Have a listen to their first demo recordings which sound very promising.

The mighty Trembling Bells have unveiled a new video for Hallelujah on the video for which they undertake an hallucinogenic procession through the streets of Glasgow. It’s all in there from early musical instruments, folk-rock, Easy Rider, a spot of bell-ringing and morris dancing.

Our Song of the Day comes from fiddle-singer duo The Rheingans Sisters performing Cuckoo live. Having just completed a French tour they return to the UK where they are on tour during May and June. They are a duo you should seek out, refreshingly innovative and captivating.

Watch the new live video from Kate Young of Kate in the Kettle for ‘Paper Rose’ which she performs with Marit Fält (VAMM). This was a favourite track we highlighted from her recent album ‘Swimmings of the Head’. Don’t miss her Spring tour in May which includes a performance at Lau-Land Bristol.

Having told us about their Equation days and their early musical beginnings in part one of our interview, Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman now bring the story of their Folk Award winning duo up to date. They talk openly about their challenges, their new album, songwriting and more. They are on tour now.

Former Young Folk Award finalists, the Jaywalkers have now been recognised with an Emerging Excellence Award and the unique musical tapestry of Weave lives up to the billing. Their unique sound mixes their love for progressive American bluegrass forms with a Lancashire hotpot of working life and social injustice.

Our Song of the Day is a track premiere from Kathryn Williams. ‘Cuckoo’ is taken from her new album of songs, ‘Hypoxia’, inspired by Sylvia Plath’s ‘The Bell Jar’, to be released via One Little Indian on 15th June.

Constant innovators and superb musicians, Lau invited Joan As Police Woman to produce the new album The Bell That Never Rang. It charts bold new frontiers. Is it the best Lau album yet? There’s absolutely no doubt about it!

We have an exclusive premiere of Lau’s dramatic new video for ‘The Bell That Never Rang’. We also talk to one of the video co-directors David Liddell who provides a unique insight into the film – “It’s an epic piece of music and I wanted to take it seriously and do it justice.”
