Stick in the Wheel

East London five-piece band Stick In The Wheel share video for ‘As I Roved Out’, the third and final single ahead of their new album release Follow them True, out on 26 January 2018.

East London five-piece band Stick In The Wheel reveal video for their hypnotic and immersive title-track of their forthcoming new album ‘Follow Them True’. The film and animation were made by artist Teresa Elizabeth Lobos.

Stick in the Wheel announce their second studio album “Follow Them True” and reveal video for lead single ‘Over Again’. The songs on the album examine rituals and cycles, our inherent power to change ourselves and the world around us, the past repeating itself, ghosts and death, land and place, thieves and beggars.

This week’s Folk Show features rituals, Cuckoos, poachers, Lapwings, Gypsies and a Golden Plover to name just a few of the themes that crop up in the folk songs we’ve pulled together. We’ve also got a sneak peek at some advance releases from Martin Simpson, Tom Russell, The Young’uns and Mairearad Green and Mike Vass plus more.

Featuring some of the best recording artists on the English folk music circuit, From Here: English Folk Field Recordings is a celebration of the democratic nature of folk music, but more than that, it is proof that this kind of recording still matters on the most visceral of levels.
