Épisode 1

vendredi 8 septembre 2023 • Durée 46:50

Welcome to our very first ShireFolk podcast! Each episode we will be having a relaxed conversation with some of the new stars of the Folk Music Scene.

This episode, we are talking with musician George Boomsma, who's music Bob Fisher (BBC Tees) referred to as "Songs of exquisite beauty, with a voice that could melt ice caps... gorgeous stuff." As we talk, George is about to perform as part of the ShireFolk tours in September 2023 and also release his new single 'Lilly of the Nile'.

We discuss all things English Folk Expo, motorway service stations, getting hair stuck in guitar machine heads (someone else's hair) and sometimes we focus on the music....

008 ShireFolk: Katie Spencer

dimanche 2 juin 2024 • Durée 44:34

It's episode number 8, in this episode, we are talking with Katie Spencer.

“Katie’s guitar playing has echoes of my dear friend the late great Bert Jansch. Like a musical weaver she threads her poetic lyrics through the guitar’s strings and produces little tapestries of song” – Ralph McTell

“Her articulate picking, with suggestions of folk and jazz, frames intelligently written songs and is the backbone to her music.” Guitarist Magazine

Raised in the East Yorkshire flatlands on the fringes of Hull, Katie Spencer’s landscape has always been that of open skies and widening rivers. Industry still shapes the city here. The people, as with the land, are moulded by tides and stark horizons. Stand in the same place for long enough and you can watch the sun rise over the North Sea and then sink into crop fields, glowing auburn in late-summer sun. It is this sense of space and movement that flows through Katie Spencer’s music.

ShireFolk Special: Those Folk

vendredi 24 mai 2024 • Durée 42:04

We are so pleased to have had a chat with 'Those Folk' for our first ShireFolk Special Podcast.

A little more about 'Those Folk'...Charismatic, authentic and thoroughly entertaining, Lawrence Menard (USA) and Clare Quinn (AUS) are the transpacific-troubadours known as ‘Those Folk.’ Having met in Scotland in 2012, they have since travelled extensively and lived in the pine forest mountains of California. They now hang their travelling hats in Pomona, Queensland.

A partnership forged in the fires of folk music, Those Folk explore sounds from the 1960’s folk revival and contemporary Americana music. Breathtaking vocal harmonies are featured alongside rich instrumental work performed on guitars, accordion, mandolin and banjo. Lawrence & Clare are storytellers who make audience members feel like fast friends. As songwriters they delve into love, hope, belonging, and the human condition. As performers they enthral, enchant, and leave a lasting impression.

Lawrence & Clare have been compared to the likes of Simon & Garfunkel and Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings. Those Folk make not just folk music, but music for all sorts of folk.

007 ShireFolk: Daudi Matsiko

Épisode 7

mercredi 8 mai 2024 • Durée 01:05:05

It's episode number 7, in this episode, we are talking with Daudi Matsiko. "Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant" Gilles Peterson, BBC Radio 6 Music

"Very much my sweet spot" Lauren Laverne, BBC Radio 6 Music

Nottingham based, British-Ugandan singer-songwriter Daudi Matsiko carefully crafts modern albeit reverent folk. Deft, melancholic picking reminiscent of Nick Drake is tempered by contemporary percussion and instrumentation. Matsiko’s vocals derive their strength from their seeming fragility. With every song, his confessional lyrics cut to the marrow. After releasing EPs, ‘A Brief Introduction to Failure’ and ‘The Lingering Effects of Disconnection’, he has toured with Keaton Henson, GoGo Penguin and Portico Quartet and was also a participant of the Red Bull Music Academy in Montreal 2016.

005 ShireFolk: Heather Ferrier

Épisode 5

mardi 13 février 2024 • Durée 47:22

It's episode number 5, in this episode, we are talking with Heather Ferrier. “Star of the North East Folk scene”- Nicky Rob, BBC introducing North East

With captivating musicianship and a sound that is unapologetically her own, Heather Ferrier is a force to be reckoned with. An “engaging talker and magnetic performer” (NARC magazine), the Stockport born accordionist, clog dancer and composer is changing the perceptions of alt-folk on her own terms. Her latest EP Engine for the Sound creates music that sets the accordion free from its stereotypes, and with an extended line-up of musicians, expresses everything Heather stands for using powerful melodies and jazz-influenced harmony. Bold, passionate and enthralling; the EP has been played on BBC Radio 6 music, and well as being favourably reviewed in local and national publications.
