Watch a video exclusive of Josienne Clarke’s ‘A Letter On A Page’. Filmed by Alec Bowman Clarke, the song was written at a time when she wasn’t sure if she’d ever play music again… It’s from “A Small Unknowable Thing”, Clarke’s second solo album due for release on August 13th.

This week’s Folk Show features TRÚ, Ye Vagabonds, Martin Carthy, Adam Holmes, Twelfth Day, Alasdair Roberts and Völvur, Pentangle, The Rheingans Sisters, Rosie Hood, Salt House, Spiers and Boden, Anna & Elizabeth, Tim Eriksen, Jackie Oates, Lleuwen and more.

Watch the accompanying video for ‘If You Ever Needed Me’, the new single from Adam Holmes and also our Song of the Day; taken from his new album Dreamweaver. This is Adam at his most enchanting…

Watch the new video, directed by James Ewen, for ‘What’s Real’, the new single from the ‘boldly unique’ Scottish duo Twelfth Day. A dizzying and exhilarating listen…an exciting harmonic journey like no other.

Taken from his new album “Live From The Glass Isle”, watch Chris Cleverley performing “The Scarlett Letter” at the foot of Glastonbury Tor. Some musicians really do shine in an unvarnished setting…Chris is one of them.

Taken from his forthcoming full-length album “Still Waiting Still” (out Sept. 17th, 2021), listen to Gregory Ackerman’s infectious new single ‘Good Song’…written in desperation to break through to the world of critics.

Ireland-based singer-songwriter Peter Broderick announces his new EP, “The Wind That Shakes The Bramble” inspired by Robert Dwyer Joyce’s poem and his own obsession with and devotion to the blackberry plant.

Taken from his new album ‘Lonesome Kind’, watch DL Rossi’s superb video by Jax Anderson for the album single Gold…a tune about accepting our own limitations in life and what we have the ability to do and not do.

Although based in New Mexico, Sabine Colleen describes herself as a wandering musician. She releases her debut album this summer and recently recorded this intimate and ethereal performance of the folk ballad “With Kitty I’ll Go” for Blue Wall Sessions. It’s also our Song of the Day.

Later this month, Libby Weitnauer makes her solo debut with ‘Sixteen Kings’ Daughters’, a contemporary exploration of two traditional ballads. Watch the accompanying video, created using watercolours by Anne Beal. It’s also our Song of the Day.

Brooke Sharkey makes a welcome return with her new single and video ‘Mmm Ja’, a collaboration with Blythe Pepino. The soundscape they’ve created is both profound and immersive; this is her best yet.

Taken from their forthcoming sophomore album ‘Beyond Breath’, watch the mesmerising video (by Tamsin Elliot) for Balladeste’s first album single ‘Dina Dukhio’…quite an extraordinary and beautiful listening experience.
