Unamplifire

The Nest Collective’s unplugged, family-friendly festival, UnampliFire, is back. This winter, London’s largest unplugged roots & folk music festival returns to St Mark’s Dalston for the first time in two years.

A unique path for discovering music and London’s hidden spaces, The Nest Collective’s summer series takes you on a worldwide musical journey through the city with carefully curated, unplugged concerts, into those rare hideaways where we can have a big old campfire AND a whole lot of live music.

This coming Saturday, 27th May, UnampliFire returns – With no amplification, no sound checks, no waiting for bands to plug in, UnampliFire celebrates pure continuous music over multiple areas and stages, bringing a historic home to life and allowing audiences a sense of being part of the music.

Two events combine to make a great day: UnampliFire Festival – a festival of listening and music appreciation featuring Martin Carthy, Cosmo Sheldrake, Seckou Keita, Ríoghnach Connolly and more. Plus the Song Collectors Collective Gathering – a celebration of the art of song collecting with insightful talks and more.
