All music is folk music; I ain't never heard no horse sing a song.

Hi new followers (and old ones too). We run an online Zoom singaround every Saturday evening UK time – officially shanties and sea songs, but really anything you like. Drop us a DM if you'd like to know more

Heading out for our monthly folk night in Nottingham - this is only our third gig, but we're more or less sold out! A huge relief - it's a tough time for live music, and there's a lot of fear in committing yourself (and very often your own money!) to events in a new city!

Brilliantly powerful writing from James Rebanks (@herdyshepherd.bsky.social) as ever. Given the media reporting you'd be forgiven for thinking farmers just want to keep their £millions from inheritance tax. The truth is far different.

The one thing Twitter has going for it now, that we desperately need over here, is Bob Dylan's recent decision to start tweeting from his official account that had, for the past 15 years, been solely used for third-person official marketing.

"When you think of the English tradition of Morris dancing, you might not picture a group of young, gender non-conforming, drag kings who dress like "chimney sweeps" - but that will be because you've not seen Molly No-Mates."

I've started up a starter pack loosely based around the UK folk and traditional music scene and will be adding to it all the time. If you can think of any artists, organisations or mandolin-whittling interest groups I've missed please let me know!

Occasionally Folkroom is also a label putting out music by the artists I love most.
