About the event

Broadside Hacks Recordings Artists Showcase: Goblin Band + Spitzer Space Telescope
Goblin Band formed from sessions of the same name run out of the HobGoblin Music shop in central London, organised by a collection of young queer folk obsessive friends and shop employees looking to forge their own way into folk music.

This gave rise to a band of multi-instrumentalists firmly rooted in the folk music of Britain, interpreted via the leftist tradition concerned with folk’s relationship to the history of the working classes, capitalism, and colonialism. Through a fusion of harmony singing, fiddle, squeezebox, hurdy gurdy, recorders and more, Goblin Band deliver a charismatic alternative expression of English traditional culture in a way which is at once riotously joyful and deeply sincere.

Goblin Band have already received a Quietus Feature and Guardian’s Folk Album of the Month. They are also integral cogs in London’s new folk movement, centred around the Broadside Hacks Folk Club and their regularly sold-out events at Hackney’s Moth Club.

They have played alongside many musicians forming the new folk-vanguard in the UK – Daisy Rickman, Shovel Dance Collective, Milkweed, Junior Brother – as well as some of the genre’s living legends – Peggy Seeger, Martin Carthy and Martin Simpson.

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.
