Inspired by his time with the critically acclaimed The Lost Words: Spell Songs, Jim Molyneux has released his solo debut single, Every Road, which paints the scene of a broken relationship, and the stages of grief, denial, and ultimately acceptance which one experiences within that.

On Tuesday 27 April 2021 Spell Songs will perform a unique live streamed concert to raise funds for the Natural History Museum’s Urban Nature Project. We chat to Jackie Morris, Karine Polwart, Seckou Keita, Julie Fowlis, Kris Drever, Jim Molyneux, Rachel Newton and Beth Porter as well as Lauren Hyams, Natural History Museum’s Head of Garden Activities.

“Rising Up – Peterloo 2019” is a newly commissioned theatre and folk music project combining compelling and original narrative and song and involving Debs Newbold, Sean Cooney, Sam Carter, Lucy Farrell, Jim Molyneux and more.

“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.

Interloper is the latest release from Tom Kitching on which he is joined by some well known musicians to define the current state of the English tradition. This is a collection of cracking tunes with intelligent, absorbing arrangements. You can’t go wrong with this one.
