My trio Culverake are hoping to go into the studio to make our debut album.
But we can only do it with your help. Our Kickstarter campaign ends soon and we’ve still got a fair way to go before we reach our goal.

Bluesky friends, please share this far and wide.

This Tuesday, 17th Dec! Come along to Holy Trinity Church in Stevenage for a lovely evening of Christmas carols, music, readings & folk songs (some familiar, others probably less so). It's all free and starts at 7.30pm.

Sadly for us, the landlords of the March Hare have decided to retire earlier than planned, so Carols at The Hare on 16/12 has been cancelled. We wish John and Janice a very happy retirement.
However, we still have the Folk Carol Service in Stevenage on 17/12, so come and sing! #folkmusic #carols🎄🎶

Is it too early to talk about Christmas? The Barrellers will be singing at Carols at The Hare, at the March Hare public house, Dunton, Beds, on Monday 16th December, 8.00pm.
It's a lovely Christmassy session of seasonal folk songs, carols & music, so come and join us!

I’m still adding to this starter pack for people interested in folk & traditional music in the UK and beyond … please let me know if you can think of any accounts of artists, organisations or specialist interest groups I’ve missed.

Hi, lovely to be here! We’re Jack in a Barrel from Bedfordshire. We sing a mix of traditional and modern folk songs, often in six-part harmony, and we drink gin.
