Rising Folk

Filkin's Drift

Part of Rising Folk Ones to Watch

This event has passed.

Rising Folk: an eclectic series of the very best emerging folk acts in the UK today.


Filkin’s Drift weave together intricate melodies inspired by the folklore of Wales and Gloucestershire. Ornate and brilliantly skilful fiddle, guitar and close vocal harmonies conjure up a Baroque soundworld encompassing delicate Welsh folk songs, traditional English dance tunes and much in between. Evocative, foot-stomping, joyful!

‘Hugely entertaining’ ~ R2 Rock ‘n’ Reel Magazine

‘They are utterly mesmerising… hovering around a single microphone with tunes full of waterfall guitar and fabulous violin’ ~ Bristol 24/7

‘They create a sound that is truly joyful’ ~ TradFolk
