Jon Boden announces tour dates with The Remnant Kings (Sam Sweeney, Paul Sartin, Rob Harbron, Ben Nicholls and Richard Warren); the Remnant Strings (Helen Bell, Morven Bryce and Lucy Revis) and The Wassail with Eliza Carthy at London’s Union Chapel.
We chat to John Spiers and Jon Boden (our Artists of the Month) about their new album Fallow Ground that finds them reunited and revelling in the sheer fun of music-making rooted in the English folk tradition.
At the heart of Spiers & Boden’s “Fallow Ground” is the utter joy of two friends making music together. It’s a joyful, exciting, and beautifully produced release and it’s so great to have them back.
Jon Boden announces two more dates for his “Last Mile Home” tour. He also has a Songwriting Retreat in September and will perform with Eliza Carthy as a duo for the first time at London’s iconic Union Chapel for a special Wassail celebration in December.
Having parted ways back in 2014, Spiers & Boden, one of our finest folk duos, are back together again with a new album titled Fallow Ground, which you can pre-order today. They have also announced festival appearances and a 23 date UK tour.
The Knoydart Songwriting Retreat offer five-day immersive songwriting retreats in what’s regarded as Scotland’s last great wilderness. Jon Boden heads up their first in September 2021 which promises to be an inspirational, magical and unforgettable week.
Jon Boden has announced his ‘Last Mile Home’ launch show on which he will be joined by the Remnant Strings and Edith the phonograph player when you can hear ‘Last Mile Home’ in full, along with some tracks from ‘Songs from the Floodplain’ and ‘Afterglow’.
We chat to Jon Boden about his new album ‘Last Mile Home’, the recent Bellowhead reunion and the much-anticipated return of Spiers and Boden, as well as the challenges of wild swimming. Plus, watch his new video for ‘Old Straight Track’.

Next month, Jon Boden will release his fifth solo album ‘Last Mile Home’, the final album in his post-climate-change trilogy – listen to album track Cinnamon Water…inspired by wild swimming.
