We recently aired a special show that was put toegther by Jackie Oates to celebrate the release of her new album ‘Lullabies’ on 18 Mar 2013. You can now listen to it on-demand here:
English folk songstress Emily Portman has announced that she has been nominated for a BBC FOLK AWARD for BEST ORIGINAL SONG for ‘Hatchlings and is to also tour with the Be Good Tanyas.
Rachel Newton’s ‘The Shadow Side’ delights beyond words. There’s something for everyone in here – innovative harp/electro-harp loops and experiments; the darkest of traditional ballads; soothing Gaelic song and enchanting vocal performances.
The Lullaby Project: Soothing, bitter or even bawdy, there’s much more to the lullaby than sending a child to sleep. Watch Kris Drever, Alasdair Roberts, Emily Portman, Karine Polwart and John Smith performing.
★★★★★ Emily Portman’s new EP ‘Hinge of the Year’ is a stunning release that mixes tradition with dark fairytale like twists. Wherever she takes her inspiration from I hope it is bottomless!
Kings Place will be playing host to a selection of fine folk artists from the core to cutting edge this winter including: Boys of the Lough, Emily Portman Trio, Emily Smith Band and more.
Jim Moray takes up the microphone to record his first podcast: a bit of banter and music from Mike Waterson, Gillian Welch, Sam Amidon, Emily Portman and more, it’s right up our street!
