A double bill with two of the UK's brightest folk acts.

Angeline Morrison is one of the leading voices in English folk music today, celebrated for her soulful, resonant voice, evocative songwriting, and deeply affecting performances. Mojo ranked her #5 among key voices of 2023 and her album The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience was The Guardian’s Folk Album of the year. Angeline describes the album as a re-storying and a gift to forgotten Black ancestors and today’s folk community.

“Morrison’s gorgeous voice and autoharp render the likes of Unknown African Boy as instant folk classics.” – Uncut Magazine (9/10)

Angeline’s music explores ordinary lives with reverence and curiosity. Accompanying herself on autoharp, dulcimer, and mbira, or singing unaccompanied, she delivers performances that linger long in memory.

“Dazzling…a startling record of resistance, rebellion and celebration.” – The Guardian

“Morrison’s courage in reconstructing folk repertoire is truly revolutionary. A ground-breaking album.” – New Internationalist ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Goblin Band are a four-piece English traditional folk band based in London. Firmly rooted in the folk music of England, the band shines a light on an alternative perspective on the Uk’s social and political history, particularly the history of the working classes, industrialisation and colonialism. Through a fusion of harmony singing, fiddle, squeezeboxes, hurdy gurdy, recorders and more, Goblin Band deliver a charismatic and unruly alternative expression of English traditional music which is both riotously joyful and deeply sincere.

They have released Come Slack Your Horse! (EP, May 2024, Broadside Hacks), A Loaf of Wax (Live from MOTH Club) (Album, November 2025, Broadside Hacks), and most recently Clyde Water / Go From My Window (Single, April 2026, Broadside Hacks).

"...stunning... a blissful reminder of the preciousness of our natural world. [...] says something powerful, and says it well." - The Guardian
