Broadside Hacks have won widespread critical acclaim for bringing the folk tradition to new generations of audiences. Building on their regularly sold-out nights in London, shows with The Pogues, and stages at SXSW, the group hosts their roster of celebrated artists this autumn with their most comprehensive set of shows to date.Taking turns in the limelight across a series of shows in UK and Ireland from September-November, among the headliners are experimental folk-duo Milkweed. Fresh from the release of acclaimed ‘album of the year’ contender Remscéla - inspired by Irish Epic the Táin Bó Cúailnge - the band are marking themselves as a must-see live act.
Also arriving with original material - via a Bob Dylan tribute act that’s hitting the main stage at Green Man Festival this summer - Spitzer Space Telescope (AKA Dan MacDonald) was born and raised in St John, Michigan, spending a decade travelling across America and Europe before settling in England to bellow out his charismatic folk charms, and recalling the classics of The Clancy Brothers and Pete Seeger.
Queer-folk quartet Goblin Band are rewriting the rulebook. Re-contextualising timeless, much-journeyed songs for the travails of contemporary society and the realities of the contemporary queer experience, expect a bulk of boundless, escapist joy too. In the words of folk legend Martin Carthy, “They go back to versions that we were too snotty to touch and they turn them into stomps!".
