Furrow Collective - "We know by the Moon"

‘The Furrow Collective have an air of immeasurable antiquity, while at the same time making the songs vibrantly new.' - R2

As the bleak winter nights draw in, The Furrow Collective have chosen a special festive programme to celebrate the dark time of year. Come in, friends, from the howling wind and bitter frost, draw a little closer to the roaring fire and prepare to be bewitched by eerie story-songs and seasonal carols that revel in the strange and wonderful traditions of these isles. With The Furrow Collective's signature spine-tingling harmonies and masterful storytelling bringing a spark of light into the wintry gloom, this promises to be an unmissable evening to remember.

The Furrow Collective is an English/Scottish band consisting of four talented and individually prominent performers: Lucy Farrell (viola, voice & saw), Rachel Newton (harp, fiddle, voice), Emily Portman (banjo, concertina, voice) and Alasdair Roberts (guitars, voice). The group formed in 2013, drawn together by a shared love of traditional song and balladry of the England, Scotland and beyond and an open, intuitive approach to collaboration. In recognition of their innovative approach, The Furrow Collective were awarded the accolade of 2017 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 'Best Group', hot on the heels of the release in late 2016 of their second album, Wild Hog (also on Hudson Records).

Keeping you safe at our events

After the recent government announcement, we wanted to update you on what measures we are currently taking to keep you safe.

These are our current safety measures, and we ask for your help and cooperation to make our events as safe as possible:

Wear a mask

Mask wearing is mandatory for everyone over the age of 12 at our events at all times (including when seated during the concert.) If you are exempt please inform a member of staff when you arrive.

Take a test

Please take an LFT (Lateral Flow Test) on the day and only attend if the result is negative. If you test positive, get in touch with us and we will refund your ticket.

All our artists, staff and volunteers are required to test on the day, too.

Stay home if you’re unwell

Do not attend if you show any symptoms of COVID-19. Get in touch with us and we will refund your ticket.

Distanced seating

There will be an empty seat between you/your group and the next audience group. We run our events at 60% capacity to allow for that.

If you are still uncertain about coming along or you have any concerns you’d like to discuss, let us know by emailing [email protected]
