Festival Folk Band

Formed 5 years ago from an ensemble of ultra-talented, music-loving buskers, Festival Folk Band is a popular Country and Folk-style band, channeling their old folk and skiffle heroes to crowds at events worldwide.

Showcasing their rare musical talents at international events, the band has gone from strength to strength, earning a stellar reputation and a sizable fan base in the UK, Europe, and the West Coast of America.

Formed from a tight-knit group of musicians, the band performs with a unique country and western/folk-inspired twist, covering a range of lyric-focused songs, arranged in a beat-pop style with inventive arrangements of instruments and harmonies.

The songs are penned by the band's three main writers and document their tales and travels through work, love, death, as well as more specific situations, such as being mugged and losing all your money at William Hill!

Their tunes have received airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, and BBC 6 music shows including spins by Dermot O'Leary, Bob Harris, Steve Lamacq, Cerys Matthews, and Janice Long. In September 2014, the band was also selected by BBC Introducing to play at Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park with ELO and Blondie and has played at many other renowned music festivals including Wilderness, Boomtown, Camp Bestival, Deer Shed, The Beverley Folk Festival, Truck Festival, and Tramlines.

Producing incredible down-to-earth, folk-inspired music, the Festival Folk Band has even earned themselves an appearance on the BBC 2 television documentary, ‘Towns’ playing their version of traditional folk song 'Scarborough Fair.'
