About the event

Broadside Hacks Recordings Artists Showcase: Goblin Band + Spitzer Space Telescope
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 gave 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.

SPITZER SPACE TELESCOPE - A folk singer who has a knack of being in the right place at the right time – he’ll soon be the musician on everyone’s lips. Having spent the last decade travelling across America and Europe, instigating vital collectives, delving deep into existing traditions but unafraid to shake them up, now he settles upon an erupting English scene, armed with the charisma, the intensity, the experience, the power, the presence – and of course the straight-up songwriting chops, to push it to the next level. He knows what’s possible because he’s done it all before. “I’ve seen other scenes peak and crest, and now it’s London’s time to take that torch,” he says. “The tires hit the pavement as soon as I landed here.”

His is the kind of folk music that hits straight to the heart, that grabs you at the collar, that pushes you back against the wall.
