The campaign to help digitise and preserve Doc Rowe’s extraordinary audiovisual footage of Britain’s wyrd-and-wonderful seasonal events and enduring folk traditions has been successful. Still, as every pound matters, they are continuing to collect donations from supporters.

Today marks the release of Georgia Shackleton’s solo debut album ‘Harry’s Seagull’ – one of the year’s freshest and most appealing folk albums. Watch her video for What Will Become of England, Harry Cox’s social commentary that sadly doesn’t lose relevance.

Listen to ‘Way Out West’, the debut single from Holly Blackshaw, taken from her upcoming EP. Inspired by her move from Hull, East Yorkshire, to rural Mid-Wales, from the flatlands to the hills…it’s also our Song of the Day.

Sarah Gillespie has shared a stop-motion film, created by Fini Bearman, for her new single “Molly of the Salt Sea”. The arrangements are playful and exploratory, over which Gillespie’s vocals unravel an equally engaging storytelling narrative.

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy shares the video/single “Keeping Secrets Will Destroy You”, the title track of his latest album that doesn’t appear on the album…instead it stands marvellously on its own. Watch the accompanying video directed by Adam Laity.
