Beth Porter and The Availables reveal a heartwarming new video for ‘Who We Are’. The first to be taken from her forthcoming new album which she’s hoping to make with the support of fans via an Indiegogo Campaign. Get behind it.

Last in the UK in 2013, the Swedish world touring folk vocal group Kongero return again this month for their fourth UK tour, this time with their new album KOM.

Cambridge Folk Festival announce the next batch of incredible artists to be added to the bill including Daoirí Farrell, Robert Vincent, The Poozies, Kris Drever, John McCusker and Roddy Woomble, Stick in the Wheel, Luke Daniels and more.

Bristol-based musician and songwriter Martin Callingham announces new album Assassins and shares video for the lead track A Toe on the Water. It was filmed from the back of Martin’s sister’s car near Hay Bluff on the Welsh borders, close to his childhood home.

Taken from his forthcoming sophomore album, Cliffhanger, watch the latest video from Grimm Grimm (the musical moniker of Koichi Yamanoha) for Ballad of a Cell Membrane, comparable to the sonic fragility of Syd Barrett’s later recordings and the cosmic folk leanings of Vashti Bunyan.

Light The Evening Fire is the debut album from Glymjack, an English folk act led by singer-songwriter Greg McDonald. They have celebrated the release (out today) with a new video for the title track featuring Phil Beer and Steve Knightley of Show of Hands.

Watch this superb live video from James Patrick Gavin’s album launch at London’s Union Chapel. “This was one of the most intensely emotional nights of my life with many people participating and a packed audience – and we pulled it off!”

The Milk Carton Kids announce new album, ‘All The Things That I Did and All The Things That I Didn’t Do’ and share new single ‘One More For The Road.’ An epic 10 minute-plus musical excursion through folk, jazz and psychedelia, the landmark track serves as a remarkable signpost of what the album has in store.

Daoirí Farrell is back in the studio again recording the follow-up to True Born Irishman with Dónal Lunny producing and Manus Lunny engineering. He is on tour next month and has also been confirmed for this year’s Cambridge Folk Festival.

Ahead of their return to the UK next month, Darlingside reveal their latest video for Best Of The Best Of Times in which a bored factory worker’s day takes an optimistic turn following a sudden burst of creative inspiration.

Robert Francis released his seventh studio album Indian Summer back in November. Watch his new video The Brand, a reflection of a singer who has never been comfortable playing the industry game.

Our Song of the Day, Got Me Since, is the first track off of Mariachi Static, the new album from Izaak Opatz released this week via Mama Bird Recordings. A jaunty little Americana meets California slacker-surf tune with a very sunny, absolutely ridiculous, L.A.- centric video.
