With live music from…
GOBLIN BAND
A four-piece English traditional folk band based in London. The band formed from small sessions organised by young, queer, folk obsessive friends looking to forge their own way into traditional music. This gave rise to a band of multi-instrumentalists firmly rooted in the music of England, concerned with representing a perspective that confronts the nation’s social and political history of class struggle, industrialisation and colonialism.
Through a fusion of harmony singing, fiddle, squeezeboxes, hurdy gurdy and more, Goblin Band deliver a charismatic and unruly alternative expression of English traditional music both riotously joyful and deeply sincere.
Cara Elin
This South Welsh folk artist brings to life the darkest tales of the Mabinogion. Her music paints pictures of misty mountaintops and tylwyth teg, with vibrant originals and interpretations of traditional verse.
"She is the absolute beating heart of the young folk scene growing in Brighton right now… her energy and passion for the tradition she grew up in excites me in the way I felt when I first heard what Broadside Hacks were doing. One to watch doesn't quite cover it" - Jon Wilks
Sam Grassie
Scottish fingerstyle guitarist and songwriter, has gained a reputation on the circuit for masterful guitar playing, raw songwriting & dynamic sets that traverse traditional folk, acoustic blues and American primitive.
Debut album “Where Two Hawks Fly” (Broadside Hacks) has been championed by BBC 2,3,6, Scotland and has led to tours with Ryley Walker, Daisy Rickman & Gwenifer Raymond and US Tour with Liam Grant. WFMU “virtuosic pickin’”, Quietus “timeless presence” Guardian “Jansch’s ghost floats majestically” CLASH “Ferocious individuality” MOJO “meditative transporter”. He has since shared stages with Jaqui Mcshee, Ralph Mctell & Robert Plant.
Be guided through the turn of the leaves with visuals from Mad Heron, Brighton-based production company that specialises in delightfully-unusual, hand-wrought filmmaking. As we dawn on a new era of media swamped with AI-generated content, it feels key to position ourselves as champions of stripped-back, human-powered storytelling.
