Field System presents an evening of May Day revels, beginning with a short film presentation by Stone Club and culminating in the raucous, dark folk of Craven. Join us for some wonderful and weird live music and visuals to mark that, indeed, Sumer Is Icumen In!

Stone Club’s featurette is a fantastical exploration of the Cornish landscape, myth and magic. The film is accompanied by music by Matthew Shaw, weaving place, folklore and sound into a dreamlike ritual of image and noise.

Craven is an English / Welsh folk trio based in the South West. Their music is at once symphonic, delicate and ethereal — a beautiful Frankenstein’s Monster of British folk. Featuring Will Bremner (accordion), Elian Moisey (double bass, viol), and Rhiannon Takel (violin, mandola), the trio conjures rich, layered soundscapes through an inventive live setup — from stomp boxes to foot-keyed harmonium and pedal-driven percussion. Their fearless, imaginative approach to folk lies at the core of their sound, fueling vivid, visceral storytelling. You can see them performing HERE at the Greenbank Folk Club in Bristol with FS friends Goblin Band!

This evening is presented as part of Field Sytem's Beltane celebrations and is part of the the second Dartmoor Tors Festival, happening at various places around Dartmoor from 30 April – 3 May 2026.
