Folkroom is back, debuting a new night in Nottingham! We'll be at @peggysskylight on the third Sunday of each month.
We can't wait to bring Notts great music from across the folk spectrum, starting with @AliRobertsMusic and @donaldwglindsay.
Tickets: peggysskylight.co.uk/events/…
'There is a Land is a wonderfully ambitious and well-executed debut.'
Read Folk Radio UK's fantastic review of Robin Elliott's forthcoming album here. Spoiler alert: we think it's very good, and so do they.

We are SO excited about @benwwalker's new album, Banish Air from Air, out now! And so is @FRUK, who calls it "a beautifully realised project, a broad-thinking, generous and calming set of songs from a gifted and confident artist." folkradio.co.uk/2023/02/ben-…
An exciting new single next month sees @winterfalle collaborate with illustrator and poet @chrisriddell50!
We'll be hosting a launch event on 15/03 for Snowdrops, a co-write between the two artists, created in response to the war in Ukraine. Tickets here: eventim-light.com/uk/a/63359…
As well as live music from @winterfalle and @tommyhyatt, the night will feature @chrisriddell50 illustrating the songs as they're being performed!
There'll be exclusive Chris Riddell originals available to buy on the night, with profits donated to the David Nott Foundation.

“The musicianship on this record is outstanding.” Couldn’t agree more, @Maverick_mag! maverick-country.com/review-… (@benwwalker’s new album out 24 Feb)

Banish Air from Air (feat. @sophie_j_music) is the second single from @benwwalker’s new album. He says: “Banish Air from Air is about science, splitting matter, our relationship with the natural world, the elements, and experiments with sound and meaning.” youtu.be/l_qvGOHTaxU

Absolutely loving the @marywallopers album that came out last Friday. It's just a joy when folk is as fun as this.

PREMIERE: Check out the brand new video from @benwwalker on @FRUK! 'Starlings' is the first single from Ben's second album, Banish Air From Air, out 24 Feb: folkradio.co.uk/2023/01/vide…
We're back in the office (spare bedroom) and looking ahead to a year of great music. Lots of exciting things on the horizon, but let's start at the beginning with our monthly free entry showcases in London and Brighton:
ALT A poster advertising two gigs, both featuring Sincere Deceivers, Bianca Watts and Neev. There's a London gig at The Finsbury on January 11th, and a Brighton one at The Folklore Rooms on January 12th. There's also a nice illustration of a guitar.
It's our Twitter anniversary, apparently!
In case, for any reason, this happens to be our last (hi, Elon!), don't forget you can find us on Instagram too (as folkroomrecords).
You can also find us on Facebook!
Or at regular gigs with @TheFinPub, @GreenNote and @folklorerooms!
