If you missed
May's Folk Rising event - an intimate gig in the
basement of Cecil Sharp House, complete with
fairy lights and bunting - we hope you can make
the second in this series of three concerts.
Presenting a sample of the freshest,
undiscovered and at times radical music being
produced within the indefinable folk tradition,
June's Folk Rising features Firefly, You Are
Wolf, Matthew Wolf, Elle Osborne and
Laish.
