About the show
A double bill with two of the UK's brightest folk acts.
Angeline Morrison is one of the leading voices in English folk music today, celebrated for her soulful, resonant voice, evocative songwriting, and deeply affecting performances. Mojo ranked her #5 among key voices of 2023 and her album The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience was The Guardian’s Folk Album of the year. Angeline describes the album as a re-storying and a gift to forgotten Black ancestors and today’s folk community.
Goblin Band are a four-piece English traditional folk band based in London. Firmly rooted in the folk music of England, the band shines a light on an alternative perspective on the Uk’s social and political history, particularly the history of the working classes, industrialisation and colonialism. Through a fusion of harmony singing, fiddle, squeezeboxes, hurdy gurdy, recorders and more, Goblin Band deliver a charismatic and unruly alternative expression of English traditional music which is both riotously joyful and deeply sincere.
Featuring
Angeline Morrison
Angeline Morrison is a vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and morris dancer based in Cornwall, who believes in the inherent beauty of sad songs. Angeline?s homespun sonic aesthetic, deeply emotive writing and layered vocal harmonies are all stitched together to make small, tender, often dark stories in song.

Goblin Band
Goblin Band formed organically from intimate sessions of the same name run out of Hobgoblin Music, a folk instrument shop in Central London, and organised by a group of queer folk obsessive friends and shop employees. These sessions have given rise to a six piece band which, though firmly rooted in the traditional music of the British Isles, draws widely on medieval and early music, as well as the folk musical traditions from abroad.
The sound concocted employs all manner of strings, squeezeboxes, hurdy gurdy, flutes, horns, jaw harps, and bells and whistles. The Goblins interpret folk song in relation to the political upheavals of past and present and strive to make a space for new audiences to experience traditional music in a manner which is both riotously joyful and deeply sincere.
