We’ll be discontinuing here soon but please go to folkloreuk.com for all upcoming shows or if you’re interested in booking an artist on the roster. If you sign up to the mailing list we can keep you in the loop đ
Thanks
Rick
We’re very happy to announce not one but TWO very exciting support acts for the launch of ‘Kristin McClement’s’ debut album ‘The Wild Grips’ on the 6th of March at Heath Street Baptist Church in Hampstead Heath ..
First up is an extremely talented young lad from Manchester named
JO ROSE
Jo plays beautiful alt-folk/country/americana music and is currently on tour supporting ‘First Aid Kit’. This will be just his 2nd appearance in the capital after a (sold out) headline show at ‘The Old Blue Last’ in East London last month.
****
Next up is the wonderful Brighton based musician
EMMA GATRILL
An old favourite in the Folklore camp (Though its been far to long since she has played for us)
Emma is an unstoppable and multi-instrumental collaborator. As well as being a full time musician with the multi-tentacled psych-folk behemoth Sons of Noel and Adrian and getting crowds dancing to the rowdy stamp-along anthems of The Marinerâs Children, she has found time to lend her voice, clarinet or accordion skills to everyone from Laura Marling to Broken Social Scene.

HALFBEAK
Featuring the talents of Theresa Elflein (vocals, bass) and Jolyon Pagett (various instruments, vocals), Halfbeak’s fifth EP âThings I Knewâ is a psych-folk work that is soaring, epic, and full of heart.
Titled as such because at the time of writing the songs represented rare moments of clarity and insight in a life addled with confusion and uncertainty, here in this EP lie some hard fought truths.
The EP is about catharsis and truth, but it is also about love and friendship. Recorded in Autumn in a south-east London garden shed, the EP captures the spirit of three very close friends drinking, laughing, and singing music they love and believe in.
From the Leonard Cohen inspired âFor Anon.â with its raucous Pogues-esque singalong finale, the EP is a sonic journey through the wall-of-guitar shoegaze flavour of âHappyâ to the cinematic psychedelia of âLight On The Ceilingâ, before ending on the reflective, soulful âCheer Up Chopsâ.
For all fans of good, real song-writing with a taste for the experimental.

TRACKHORSE
Little is known about this London based band except they have a talented lyricist and singer who may have a second face on the back of his head that whispers the lyrics and other awful truths to him. And a guitarist whom terrified and broken groupies say is something else and âonly wears his man suit while making musicâ. Elsewhere, Internet forums rumour the drummer is a noted and wanted horse murderer from Northern Ireland. A glass-eyed man who learnt how to drum as a boy at illegal gypsy drum-offs back in the â70s .. (BRCM.Info)
Have a listen to their awesome track ‘Bullethead’ to get you all riled up!! – https://trackhorse.bandcamp.com/track/bullethead

AMY WALKER
“Amy was born in London in 1984 and studied music at Dartington College of Arts from 2002 to 2005, where she developed both her song-writing and her interest in the physics of sound.
She has recorded in an aircraft hangar and a mine, and her piano duet âMy Head Is A Pianoâ called for the pianists to sit cross-legged under their pianos. Amy now lives in Paris and works in the voice recognition technology industry.
âUnravelâ, Amyâs first studio album, tells the story of the last decade of her life, from abandoning university in âMichael And The South West Useless Brigadeâ, to being paid less than her male counterpart in âFilthy Little Shrewâ, to finding peace in âAngels Come Downâ, and losing it again in âShe Did Tell Youâ.”

The End Festival – 20th – 23rd November
Festival Wristbands and tickets for individual shows/days can be purchased here – https://billetto.co.uk/the-local
We at Folklore are very pleased to be involved in this years ‘The End Festival’ in Crouch End and in our excited state we’ve decided to giveaway a pair of tickets for the event we’re curating for it at ‘The Kings Head’ on Thursday the 20th November which features Patch and The Giant, Barbarisms, A. Dyjecinski and Mock Deer – https://www.facebook.com/events/319960534877963/?ref=ts&fref=ts
I’m also going to give you a little heads up about some of the acts playing throughout the festival. Some I know and have played Folklore shows in the past and some I’m simply eager to see/hear. Whichever category they fall into here are my reasons for checking them out…
First up is ALEXIS TAYLOR who plays The Crypt on Saturday the 22nd Nov. Hot Chip were one of those bands that I never really considered myself a fan of, yet their songs got in my head, in a good way, and though it wasn’t the genre of music I listened to often, they slowly grew on me and demanded my respect. Any act that can do that to me has to have something good going on. Alexis new project therefore is an exciting prospect, retaining the ridiculously catchy hooks but with a sound that lends itself more to the likes of Robert Wyatt. Check out the infectious – <a href="http://http://youtu.be/a2thkRt94lU“>Without a Crutch from forthcoming release ‘Await Barbarians’
Next up I have a collection of Folklore favourites…
Playing at The Haberdashery on the 22nd Nov without full band but still with all the magic are LAISH.
This band are something a bit special and I’ve been a fan ever since I was played one of their albums years ago whilst helping out on Emma Gatrill’s album launch (who at that time was a member of the band). They’ve played shows for us many times now with various line ups and still everytime I see them I’m impressed! There are some obvious influences there but they still manage to sound fresh, exciting and engaging. This, of course, has much to do with the man pulling all the strings, Daniel Green. He performs with a confidence and skill that makes you, as an audience member feel like you’re being given something special, and you are. He’s subtly commanding on stage without being arrogant, he’s simply confident, and there’s a huge difference. He’s a man who’s obviously pleased with the end result of years of hard work and so he should be .. check out the now ‘legendary’ track ‘Warm the Wind’ – http://youtu.be/iQ15WVS5bjw
LOWPINES are another firm favourite here at the Folklore camp and we’re excited to see them back in the game after somewhat of a hiatus (though touring with Lyla Foy is a pretty good excuse). They play The Crypt on the 21st of Nov at 10:00pm and if the last recording is anything to go by (a beautiful hushed and delicate cover of little known artist ‘Judee Stills’ ‘Rugged Road’) – https://soundcloud.com/lowpines/rugged-road-written-by-judee-sill it’s gonna be a triumphant return!
Last but not least are BARBARISMS at our very own Folklore Presents evening at The King’s Head, Thursday the 20th Nov – coming to us all the way from Stockholm! These are a completely new band for me and a very exciting prospect! They are a bit like a more ragged ‘Band Of Horses’ and tracks like ‘Easier All The Time’ and ‘Backwards Falconeer’ already have ‘classics’ written all over them – http://youtu.be/—BWs_sK5g
I’d also like to mention the many other acts that I love and am excited about seeing this year, but don’t have time to give them a full mention. So… here is a little list of some other great acts playing the festival that you should also do your damnedest to check out: Joe Innes and The Cavalcade, Patch and The Giant, Nick Edward Harris, Eliza Shadadd, Grasscut, Alex Highton, Billy Mahonie, Mock Deer, Steve Folk, Bridie Jackson, Aaron Fyfe, Pip Mountjoy, Mishaped Pearls, Buzzard Lope and no doubt more that I’ve forgotten! By all accounts this years The End is gonna be a blinder!!!!

First up is Yorkshire based Neil McSweeney on Friday the 17th October.
Doors – 7:45pm
Advance tickets still available – http://www.wegottickets.com/folklore
McSweeneyâs debut album, Remember To Smile was released in 2006 by Sheffield independent label, LM Music. Tracks from the album attracted national radio play from BBC Radio 2 and the digital station BBC Radio 6 Music. This led to Postcards being released as a single by Kids Records, the singles arm of Warner Music UK subsidiary 14th Floor Records. Further national radio exposure followed [4] including the track being playlisted by XFM. Around this time Neil also accompanied his friend Stoney both on record, on tour and in session for BBC Radio 2âs Dermot OâLeary at Maida Vale Studios.[5]
Extensive touring in the UK followed before second album, Shoreline emerged in 2009. This was self-released and attracted positive reviews in the national press [3] as well as the attention of fellow Sheffield musician, Richard Hawley.[6] Following support sets at The Crucible in Sheffield and the Royal Festival Hall, McSweeney accompanied Hawley as main support on the European leg of his Trueloveâs Gutter tour.[7][8]
During a hiatus from touring in 2011 and 2012, reportedly to spend more time with his young family, McSweeney developed friendships with musicians from the English folk and roots scene. This developed into collaborations which formed the basis for an EP (The Seventeen EP) and a third full-length album (Cargo) both released in 2013. The album features contributions from Lucy Farrell, Sam Sweeney, Brooks Williams, Matt Boulter, Vera Van Heeringen, Jock Tyldesley, Andy Seward and others.[9]
In Autumn 2013 Neil supported English folk group Bellowhead on their UK tour. He was accompanied by Vera van Heeringen and Sam Sweeney.
Stars of Sunday League is the music of Euan Robinson with talented friends humouring him occasionally.
After a quiet few years SOSL are back with songs about how the biggest things can be wrapped up in the smallest. Hears to the everyday and the spaces in between.
SOSL have played previously with King Creosote, Natalie Imbruglia’s sister and lots in between.

NEXT UP its the album launch for the very talented Ned Roberts ..Â
24th October
Doors – 7:45pm
Ned Roberts is an acoustic finger-picker and songwriter based in London. Raised in a musical family, Ned first started gigging when living up in York, playing old folk covers and the odd Dylan tune. Not long after writing his first songs, he was discovered by producer Luther Russell (Sarabeth Tucek, Richmond Fontaine, Noah & The Whale) and brought to Los Angeles to record.
The first single culled from these fruitful sessions was “Red Sun”, which featured frequently on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Scotland, and even Radio 3 in Spain. On the heels of this came the single “Blues #6”, featuring vocals by acclaimed songstress Sarabeth Tucek. Evoking early-period Paul Simon as if recorded late night at Sun Studios back in the ’50’s, the track was championed by Lauren Laverne and Jo Whiley on BBC Radio.
No stranger to the road, on his last outing Ned attained the much sought after support slot with celebrated US songwriter Anais Mitchell. Ned has also just returned from Madrid where he performed with Sarabeth Tucek. A busy few months lie ahead. His debut album due on 3rd November â expertly mastered by John Fischbach (Stevie Wonder, Carole King) â is just the beginning. Early in the new year Ned is returning to the studio to record his second LP.
–‘One to really get excited about’ – Lauren Laverne, BBC 6Music
–‘A lovely lilting voice that recalls a trans-Atlantic Nick Drake…requires replaying constantly’ – Rough Trade

NICK EDWARD HARRIS
[I’ve had the pleasure of a sharing a bill with Nick a few times and he’s a wonderful songwriter and performer, with some extreme guitar chops!]
In 2010, having escaped from his job as a primary school music teacher in inner city London, Nick E. Harris moved to the remote landscapes of New Zealand. Living a frugal and isolated lifestyle, he began dedicating almost every waking hour to homing his craft; refining his guitar techniques, developing his songwriting and often busking to pay the bills. Within a few months this began to pay off and on returning to London a year later he took to applying the same commitment and dedication to his live performances and studio recordings. He has not looked back since.
After recording a 5-song EP with Ben Lovett of Communion, and with a little help from his friends, he began to progress his voice and sound, striving to sit somewhere in between the tapping brilliance of Andy McKee and the wonderful melancholy of John Martyn. He then released his debut album âChimeraâ, recorded by London producer Nick Trepka (Speech Debelle, Kieran Leonard, Emmy the Great), featuring collaborations with Emma Gatrill of âThe Marinerâs Childrenâ/âSons of Noel and Adrianâ and Ted Dwane of âMumford and Sonsâ.
Recently he has been playing festivals, with appearances at Glastonbury, Wilderness and Cambridge Folk Festival and has been gigging extensively around the UK.
âThe Tall Treesâ, Nickâs second studio album is due for release this Winter.
–“This is an album full of maturity and a strong sense of musical identity. Harris’s vocal is warm yet emotive and his guitar playing highly technical, yet melodic” 11 is louder than 10

LAISH
Formed in Brighton around the unique songwriting talents of singer and guitarist, Daniel Green, Laish have released two critically acclaimed albums and toured extensively across the UK and Europe. Due to the last incarnation of the band splintering into different projects, Green spent the last 9 months touring as a solo act allowing audiences to hear the lyrics and focus on his impressive guitar playing. A confirmed appearance at this year’s End of the Road Festival has kick started a new lineup into existence and the Strongroom show will be their first public outing. Armed with a handful of new songs and some more familiar material, their sound explores a different palette, a quickened tempo and a renewed energy.

Joe Innes and the Cavalcade
When he was young, Joe Innes found and subsequently buried a dead rat in his garden. This event is the subject of Pet Cemetary â the opening track of his debut album The Frighteners, and is a good example of the offbeat observations that litter his songs like a bin lorry rolling down Solsbury Hill.
Joe has been playing shows in London for years, gaining support for his own personal brand of anti-folk, and finding himself supporting artists like Caitlin Rose, Sea of Bees, Alessiâs Ark and She Keeps Bees. At the end of 2011, a band was put together to record and make a bigger noise with. Thus, The Cavalcade was formed, a garage-folk outfit that has been compared to Jeffrey Lewis & The Junkyard, Bright Eyes and The Pogues.

ALICE PHELPS
Creating ambient lilting rhythmic harmonies with the harp allowing the bellowing husky vocals to be perfectly contrasted in a very unusual but beautiful way! Influenced by folk from near and far, irish to chinese, Alice blends this with non traditional and blues infused melodies.

DEAR PARIAH
Dear Pariah is the moniker for London based artist Charlotte Hinchcliff, a 24 year old British singer-songwriter and arranger. Her brutally honest lyrics, giving listeners a glimpse into a much more complex character underneath. Her voice holds the weight of an old soul on young shoulders, with a distinctive sound that demands your attention. Her debut self titled EP was released in August 2012 and was well received. Since then she has performed both solo, with a trio and with a 7 piece band at a variety of venues in London and around the UK such as Jamboree, Old St Pancras Church and A Carefully Planned
Festival. Her highly anticipated second EP will be released on 28th September 2014, co-produced
by Brett Shaw (Daughter, Ghostpoet).

BENEDICT RUBINSTEIN
Benedict Rubinstein was christened Benedict Rubinstein but Benedict Rubinstein is also the new solo project of Benedict Rubinstein of The Mariner’s Children and Peggy Sue. Benedict Rubinstein sings sad, honest songs of heartbreak and protest and what it means to be Benedict Rubinstein. Benedict Rubinstein blends brooding americana with the sunny melodies and close harmonies of 50s pop. Benedict Rubinstein. Benedict Rubinstein. Remember the name.

WINTERFALLE
Under the Winterfalle pseudonym, 25-year old Jerseyman Sam Falle writes music dripping with vulnerability, powerlessness and heartbreak. Compared to Lightspeed Champion, John Grant and Foals at their most tranquil, Samâs songs creep under your skin and make you shiver with recognition. New single âDeadbeatâ showcases Winterfalle at his spine-tingling best.
âWith Winterfalle, Sam combines his brilliant grasp of storytelling with a gift for captivating riffs and musical imagery.â BBC Introducing Jersey
âHaunting and melancholic. Watch this guy.â Culture Junkie
Winterfalle has been played by BBC 6, playlisted by BBC Jersey and recently featured on the front of the BBC Introducing blog. Sam has performed at Danny Boyleâs Shuffle Festival as well as Oxjam Islington and is appearing in folk circles and circuit spots around London where he now lives.

RINGLEFINCH
A stomping good-time alternative folk band with touches of flamenco, gypsy jazz and epic harmony, Ringlefinch are currently recording their hotly anticipated debut EP with BBC Radio 2 Folk Award nominee Ben Walker as producer. The EP will be released in late spring 2014, accompanying a spring and summer of festival appearances and gigs across London and the south-eastt
Dark-humoured, wittily introspective lyrics set to upbeat, quirky earworm tunes.
The toe-tapping rhythms of swing and jazz manouche – but with a thoroughly folk sensibility.
An exciting, rabble-rousing live show, peppered with moments of subtle beauty.
This is one musical casserole that’s far greater â far more tasty and compelling â than the sum of its ingredients.
Description
Ringlefinch are a London based alternative folk band with an eye for mischief, an ear
for an earworm, and a beat for your feet! Their unique sound blends the strong melodies and storytelling of folk music, the toe-tapping rhythms of swing and jazz manouche, and dark-humoured, wittily introspective lyrics to create rabble-rousing songs with moments of genuine tenderness.
“A stomping good-time folky band with touches of flamenco, gypsy jazz and swing” – Softly Softly
Tom Hyatt is a London-based singer, songwriter and artist from Lancashire, England. Personally universal lyrics and a dynamic live delivery craft memorable performances both online and onstage.
âsophistication and aplomb which is incredibly rare in performers of such a relatively youthful age⌠one of the most intelligent, relevant singer-songwriters in the countryâ
â Louder Than War
Hyattâs forthright writing style was honed in the folk-rooms of Oxford, emerging with the open-minded musicality of John Martyn and the vocal force of Van Morrison. His captivating live presence has seen him connect in intimate shows such as Danny Boyleâs Shuffle Festival, and hold his own on national tours with the likes of post-punk legends The Three Johns.

âCatherine Feenyâs songs are entrancing…. You can hear a passion behind her experimental pop songs that carry with it both nostalgia and innovationâ â The Delia Magazine
âFeeny paints with a paintbrush of revolution, songs are uplifting and unifying, not despite of but because of the fragile country they sing aboutâ â Cincinnati Music Examiner
âFeenyâs songs are often those of an exile …. Her low key, quietly devastating delivery sounding somewhere between Joni Mitchell and Bille Holliday â â the York Press
Catherine Feeny
Acclaimed singer-songwriter and accomplished drummer/percussionist partner to record an adventurous modern classic.
Sometimes two artists meet at exactly the right time. And in collaborating, they transform each others’ work into something different, better; somehow higher
Catherine Feeny grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, part of a tight-knit family for whom music was a uniting force. Absorbing Springsteen through her older brother, Simon and Garfunkel through her parents and The Smiths through her elder sister, she early on developed a keen ear for songwriting.Feeny has toured extensively as a headline act and in support of: Wilco, Suzanne Vega, John Prine, The Indigo Girls, Kelly Jones and Martha Wainwright
Following her participation in and consequent arrest at the Occupy Wall Street demonstration this past fall, Feeny’s new material has a political fire and a progressive rhythmic sensibility that stand in contrast to her earlier work.

The Little Unsaid
THE LITTLE UNSAID is the pseudonym of John Elliott, Yorkshire-born multi-instrumentalist, producer and writer who records and performs a unique blend of folk, electronica, poetic lyricism and lavish orchestration.
The 2013 album âDig For The Promiseâ was mixed and co-produced by Graeme Stewart (producer and engineer for Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead). It featured acoustic arrangements entwined around electronic beats and melodies constructed from âfound sounds,â which were recorded around the streets of London. The single âMidnight On An Islandâ received repeated BBC 6 radio play and was hailed by esteemed indie music blog Dots and Dashes as one of the genreâs âgrandest successes thus far.â
This Summer will see the release of a five track EP combined with a book of poetry under the collective title âA Filthy Hunger,â exploring themes of distorted human connection in the modern world. The music was recorded with producer/engineer Brett Shaw (Daughter, Florence and the Machine) with John writing all the parts and playing all of the instruments himself aside from the string arrangements, which were performed by regular collaborators the Southfields String Quartet. The project was crowd-funded by fans using pre-orders and exclusive offers such as limited edition artwork, remixes and private home concerts. A UK tour and return to major festivals such as Glastonbury and Secret Garden Party will follow the release.
John has also written screenplays for award-winning short films, the most recent of which is titled Job and is set for release across European film festivals later this year.
‘A giddying conflation of folk, electronica and lavish orchestration…one of the supposed genreâs grandest successes thus far’ – Dots and Dashes ‘F***ing brilliant!’ – Mary Guibert (Jeff Buckley’s mother) ‘Something of sheer beauty’ – Emerging Icons
