New Roots: Robin Elliott Full Band Show

Event Information

ROBIN ELLIOTT’s full-length debut album, There is a Land, was released in October 2023. Co-produced by longtime collaborator and Radio 2 Folk Award Winner Ben Walker (Folkroom Records), it weaves diverse strands of influence into a compelling, coherent whole. At the centre is Elliotts voice: beautiful, strange and distinctive, equally adept at the high and plaintive as the declamatory or the dry. And there are jokes, odd references, intricate vocal harmonies, jazz players, weird skips beyond the fourth wall. Live shows have taken him around the UK several times with contemporaries Jack Harris, Samantha Whates and Cameron Niven, and further afield into France, Italy and Brazil.

‘One of the purest songwriting talents in music today’ For Folk’s Sake

‘Elliott’s songs ebb and flow like poems, rich in imagery and sentiment’. PRS For Music

‘This is a gentle look at a harsh world. There’s a tension in the contradiction that makes his music particularly interesting. Robin Elliott is working in a folk tradition because his music is rooted in a narrative tradition, his lyrics have something to say’. Folk Radio UK
