Event Information
Frankie Archer has exploded onto the electrofolk scene with music that transcends stereotypes using a combination of manipulated samples, synths, drum tracks and earthy Northumbrian fiddle and voice to capture her audience. Her aim? To shake up genres and traditions, challenge perspectives and call for a fairer future.
Winner of the 2023 Christian Raphael Prize, Frankie has been featured on ‘Later… With Jools Holland’ and championed by tastemakers at BBC Radio 2 and 6Music. Following the release of her debut EP ‘Never So Red’ (November, 2023), she has supported the likes of Futureheads and The Last Dinner Party. With her unique live set turning heads wherever
she goes, Frankie is quickly establishing herself as “one to watch” in the alternative space.
“Extraordinary” (Jools Holland).
“Fascinating and intoxicating” (Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2).
"Nothing short of a revelation… the most exciting thing to have happened in music; not just folk music, in the last 20 years" (Jen Taylor, At The Barrier).
'She is thrilling… you simply cannot wrench your eyes, or ears, away from the stage… the world is hers for the taking” (Gavin McNamara, Bristol 24/7).
“She brings immense authenticity to her frontier pushing exploits” (WJ Quinn, The QR).
"She doesn't just push boundaries but smashes them out of the solar system” (Tony Birch, FATEA).
