About the event

Grand Union Folk Presents: STICK IN THE WHEEL + Support TBA
Nicola Kearey & Ian Carter have been making music as Stick In The Wheel since 2013.

The radical East London duo are known for their intense live shows exploring the raw holler of folk, synths, spoken word and intricate guitar fuzz. They present full-force reworkings of centuries-old work-songs with fragments of ancient texts that speak to contemporary issues of class – an inherently political act. Their relentless approach to questioning traditional music forms is matched only by the energy that they bring to it. Full of hope and resistance, they continue to push forward contemporary roots music, whilst celebrating music from our collective histories – conjuring the past to point toward the future.

Read about our many collabs and projects here.

“If there’s anyone who deserves their props amid this surge of attention directed towards radical folk, it’s Nicola Kearey and Ian Carter of Stick In The Wheel, who’ve been bringing an energy, political urgency and experimental drive to traditional music for a decade.” The Quietus

“Stick In The Wheel approach folk music with satire and guile…weaving together sounds and histories of the cultural palimpsest of London…directly engaging with both the discourse and sound of tradition” The Wire

“A remarkable psychogeographic voyage into a thousand years of London culture” 9/10 UNCUT

“Absolutely brilliant” Marc Riley BBC6 Music

“Powerful – and deeply relatable” Pitchfork

“Maximum innovation” The Observer
