Beth Porter’s band Marshes premiere new music video on Folk Radio UK for the title track of their debut album “When The Lights Are Bright”. Don’t miss their live online gig this Friday.

Watch the accompanying video for The Bookshop Band’s new single, inspired by Irish author Donal Ryan’s award-winning book The Spinning Heart. It’s also our Song of the Day.

“The Lost Words” finally reaches us in the form of Spell Songs. Composed by eight of folk’s finest contemporary talents: Karine Polwart, Seckou Keita, Julie Fowlis, Kris Drever, Jim Molyneux, Kerry Andrew, Rachel Newton and Beth Porter, the songs bring us hope for the future.

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.

As sales figures report that the UK’s love affair with the printed book is far from over The Bookshop Band take that love and prepare for the Spooky Season with their new album That Ghost Belongs To Me from which we take our Song of the Day. Support your local bookshop.
