Jane Weaver’s illustrious career has produced an expansive library of music that has seen her journey through solo folkloric and pop leaning beginnings through to the psychedelic synth-pop explorations of today. Celebrating her pioneering vision, Fire Records will be deep diving into her early catalogue with a new reissue series set for release in 2026.On its 15th Anniversary we revisit ‘The Fallen By Watch Bird’ (out 23rd January 2026) with a special expanded edition double vinyl release that will include ‘The Watchbird Alluminate’ – featuring Demdike Stare, The Focus Group, Anworth Kirk and Samandtheplants.
Join us in the Brewery Arts theatre as the album will be performed for the first time ever in its entirety by Jane and the sonic sisterhood group of ‘Septieme Soeur’ Including Harpist – Serafina Steer (Bas Jan), Guitarist and singer – Emma Tricca, Welsh Folk Artist – Lisa Jen (9Bach) and Guitarist Joel Nicholson (Jane Weaver Band) with accompanying storybook visuals and film.
Originally released on Weaver’s own label Bird Records, ‘The Fallen By Watch Bird’ is a tapestry of psychedelic femme-folk-rock drawing influences from Eastern European children’s cinema, Germanic kunstmärchen, 70s television music, and 80s electronic scores. Steeped in synths and mysticism, the fully realised conceptual record weaves imagery of absent sailors, telekinesis, bird messengers and white witchcraft alongside pagan themes of death and rebirth.
“For sheer musical scope alone, this is an entire acid, folk, world, blues festival in itself. …she is forging a powerful and lasting cult appeal.” – THE QUIETUS
