Folk Witness

Folk music, small dogs and sandwiches. But mainly folk music.

There are just 24 hours left, to get this lovely project past the funding finishing line - and to bring it to life. Please do have a look at the kickstarter page, and see if you would like to pledge + there are some really lovely rewards.

Festive folkiness drawing near you soon...

@EnglishFolkfan @squeezyjohn Hi Lesley! I am (as Mark) but not a full FW account yet. We’ll see! Thanks for the folk tips x

[Folk Witness @FolkWitness]

OK, the FW account appears to be unsuspended (never found out why we were in the first place), but now we're back we can finally add our valuable comment to this, which is: eh?!

[Matthew Watkins @SoC_trilogy]

I wonder if someone would like to explain to @elizacarthy that she's now the subject of an AI-themed memecoin, as the result of a weird coincidence involving a dream I had about her last night and a puzzling @truth_terminal output about a Great Mother Goddess simulacrum. Anyone?

[John Spiers @squeezyjohn]

It's official ... to accompany our Christmas tour, @jackieoates and I are launching a brand new studio album 'A Midwinter's Night' - an acoustic take on the darkest season of the year featuring lesser-known folk carols and tunes from England and beyond.

September and October happenings!

[Sam Carter @samcartermusic]

My new album Silver Horizon is out today! Thanks so much to everyone who helped me bring this to life. https://t.co/VAQyk8xj4Z

[Folk Witness @FolkWitness]

@EnglishFolkfan @ChrisWood_Music I suppose that would be understandable! Like you, hope he feels like recording again soon though

[Folk Witness @FolkWitness]

Anyone know how we get @ChrisWood_Music to release another album?

[Folk Witness @FolkWitness]

@jimcausley @ChrisWood_Music You’ve seen through my ruse!

[The Secret DJ. @SecretDJBook]

You see this, this is what happens in real life. The bots can't show up on the streets.

On the right there (yeah the far right) are the 6 nazis who turned up to cause mayhem.

Everyone else is there to stop them.

This is England.

Folk Witness is making its debut at this little-known fest in the east of England

[John Spiers @squeezyjohn]

I mean ... it's a no-brainer isn't it? He was born in Chicago and you wouldn't even need to make new signs!!!

[Sam Carter @samcartermusic]

My new single Good Enough is out today! https://t.co/kEzMuUjRzc

Whatever you're up to this weekend folks, I hope this slice of summery optimism is a great accompaniment. 🌞

Thanks to @magicandy81 of @hudson_records, @bennicholls10, Evan Jenkins and @RowanRheingans!

Rishi Sunak delivers the best quote of the general election campaign.

Asked if he is planning a special meal on election night, he tells ITV's This Morning programme:

“My favourite meal, generally, is sandwiches.”
