Midland Metro Alliance presents:
Grand Union Folk Club
folk music for listening and for dancing, featuring:
live (A-Z):
Haress
"This blissed-out psychedelia is not quite pastoral – there’s nothing twee about these unwinding grooves – yet evokes water and wood, light and shadow, a place of forgotten labour and the absent human form with a beguiling grace" - Luke Turner on Ghosts, The Quietus Albums Of The Year 2022
"Haress are based in the Shropshire Hills, their music is rooted in the feel and tradition of British folk but expands out of any genre boundaries through the use of improvisation, texture and amplification. They intertwine dark and repetitive electric guitar figures to create a hypnotic, mantra-like state, the playing working on a kind of unspoken telepathy until it's impossible for the onlooker to work out which player is responsible for which sound amid the warm, enveloping hum of valve amps."
Toby Hay
"One of the finest guitarists of his generation." KLOF
"Toby Hay manages to marry craft and melody like few others in contemporary Welsh Folk. His appreciation of the melancholic and melodic voice of his guitar brings out an experimental, gorgeously elongated picking style that touches on American Primitivism and the likes of Bert Jansch or John Renbourne, but with an inviting, graceful air."
Trippers & Askers
"Trippers & Askers is the folk/spiritual jazz project of musician, sound artist, educator and researcher Jay Hammond. The group's latest album Acorn takes inspiration from Octavia Butler's immersive and frighteningly prescient novel Parable of the Sower. As an intertextual work, Acorn brings together a wide array of collaborators that include members of Wye Oak, Califone, former Sun Ra member Ken Moshesh and comic artist John Jennings to explore the book's narrative as it pertains to the very real political and emotional challenges of the present. The album was called "a shimmering homage to nature" by The Guardian."
Will Stratton
"Will Stratton is a songwriter and guitarist born in California's Central Valley and living in New York’s Hudson Valley. His eighth LP, Points of Origin, is a sprawling concept album, telling a story about intensifying California wildfires, intergenerational nostalgia, and human connection. It is out on March 7th on Bella Union (worldwide) and Ruination Records (USA). His previous albums, 2021’s The Changing Wilderness and 2017’s Rosewood Almanac, received critical acclaim from Sir Elton John, Alexis Petridis (The Guardian), and journalists at Pitchfork, Mojo, Guitarist, and Uncut, among others."
