Folkroom is back, debuting a new night in Nottingham! We'll be at @peggysskylight on the third Sunday of each month.
We can't wait to bring Notts great music from across the folk spectrum, starting with @AliRobertsMusic and @donaldwglindsay.
Tickets: peggysskylight.co.uk/events/…
'There is a Land is a wonderfully ambitious and well-executed debut.'
Read Folk Radio UK's fantastic review of Robin Elliott's forthcoming album here. Spoiler alert: we think it's very good, and so do they.

The matinee shows I run as @Folkroom are family-friendly for exactly this reason - a chance to introduce your family to live music! They're at @GreenNote. Next up is @IonaLaneMusic at the end of April.

For a fleeting moment this is/was true, depending on when you're reading this.
Thank you so much to anyone who's listened to Banish so far. Bx

Something beautiful for a Friday afternoon: the music video for @winterfalle's collaboration with @chrisriddell50. Complete, of course, with Chris's handwritten lyrics and stunning illustrations.

The good folk at @FRUK let me have a bit of space to talk about always moving forward, creatively, and what folk music means to me. Do have a read, if you like that sort of thing!

According to Amazon, "Banish Air From Air" is the 16th hottest folk thing released this week. With a record like this you never know what people will think and I've no idea what that means, but I'll take it!

We are SO excited about @benwwalker's new album, Banish Air from Air, out now! And so is @FRUK, who calls it "a beautifully realised project, a broad-thinking, generous and calming set of songs from a gifted and confident artist." folkradio.co.uk/2023/02/ben-…

Banish Air From Air is out today!
Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered, saved, liked, streamed and generally had some sort of good vibe around this record. It’s been a long few years, but finally it’s out there!
Listen and buy it (if you like it) here! ffm.to/banishairfromair
An exciting new single next month sees @winterfalle collaborate with illustrator and poet @chrisriddell50!
We'll be hosting a launch event on 15/03 for Snowdrops, a co-write between the two artists, created in response to the war in Ukraine. Tickets here: eventim-light.com/uk/a/63359…
As well as live music from @winterfalle and @tommyhyatt, the night will feature @chrisriddell50 illustrating the songs as they're being performed!
There'll be exclusive Chris Riddell originals available to buy on the night, with profits donated to the David Nott Foundation.
