Psych folk and beyond - An all-dayer to celebrate the point where all sorts of English folk music (and one emigrant American living in Wales) meets what Lord Buckley referred to as The Far-Goneasphere.

“The clichés about our folk music suggest that if it’s not 97-verse traditional ballads about our murderous aristocracy then it’s all “jolly milkmaids, foaming nutbrown ale and illegal shagging” (to quote somebody whose name eludes us). Others would have it as some sort of Wicker Man kingdom of haunted pastoral pagan pholklore shading through whimsical singer-songwritery into eccentric steampunk with banjos. Well, it’s some of all that and none of that, but there are increasing numbers of musicians and songwriters beyond the mainstream currently taking inspiration from the themes, tunes and musical strangenesses of our roots and making something timelessly new but still distinctly local out of them. And sometimes quite odd… So the idea arose to put as many as they could assemble into a building for a day and see what would happen. Hence… Weirdlore. “

Artists booked to appear include Telling The Bees, Rapunzel & Sedayne, Three Cane Whale, and Jonny Kearney & Lucy Farrell.
