I’m so pleased with this review by Folk Wales of my album Rainbows in the Road’ 😁🎶🎶🌈

Taken from Cold Blows the Rain, the new eight-song collection from experimental musician Bridget Hayden, watch her latest music video for the traditional folk ballad Factory Girl, featuring archive footage from 1904 and 1956. klofmag.com/2025/01/watc...

It's great to see albums from Jacken Elswyth and the Rheingans Sisters (EFDSS Creative Bursary recipients) included in @theguardian.com's top 10 folk albums of 2024.

We've had the pleasure of seeing both perform at Cecil Sharp House in recent years.

Latest Review: Six years after their eponymous debut, Julie Fowlis, Éamon Doorley, Zoë Conway, and John Mc Intyre return with Allt Vol. II: Cuimhne, an album harmonious in every aspect: magnificent vocals, classy musicianship, and absorbing airy arrangements. klofmag.com/2025/01/juli...

Thanks so much for re-posting. This cd is dedicated to my late brother in law, Neil Skinner, who went missing in the Scottish highlands two and a half years ago.He loved my songs, 2 are about the missing, but it’s a range of folky, bluesy songs I’ve written in the last 10 years, my first solo album!

In a special 'track-by-track' guide, Ross Ainslie talks us through his new album 'Pool'. He provides an insight into how the album evolved and the thoughts behind many of his decisions. It's a great read. klofmag.com/2024/12/trac...

One of my proudest achievements of 2024 was releasing my 2nd album 'The Pendulum Swing'. Today I got this - my first & only trophy 🥹 I almost didn't get one because I was worried it was obnoxious & then I thought - f*** it. Own your achievements. Be proud. Thank you for all for your support 🩷

Lovely night on Monday with the Bristol Folk Singers. Thanks for the fabulous harmonies in the choruses.
