Greg Russell & Ciaran Algar - Utopia and Wasteland11-05-2018 12:00  Greg Russell & Ciaran Algars fjerde album, Utopia and Wasteland, udkom for en lille måneds tid siden, og anmeldernes lovord er formelig væltet ind i stride strømme lige siden:
"This is a poised and self-assured release, (don't forget they are only 24 and 22 years old), and one in which their maturing musical adroitness and talent is emphatically displayed [...] If their previous album consolidated and built upon their first two albums, then Utopia and Wasteland takes things to an even higher level. To their undoubted talents and technical skills as musicians can now be added well-developed singer-songwriting skills. This is an album to be savoured, confirming their place at folk's top table." - David Pratt, FATEA Magazine
"...an album that explores a formidable range of human emotions and political ideas, and one that flits easily between the minuscule detail and the grand statement. Above all, it is an album that identifies and engages with the problems of the modern world and insists that folk music still has an important part to play in confronting those problems. Algar and Russell have produced another compelling, wise, youthful statement; they are currently one of the most exciting duos not just in folk but in any genre." - Thomas Blake, Folk Radio UK
"Greg Russell’s voice and guitar simply mesmerise, while Ciaran Algar’s evocative violin intercedes surgically and, if that wasn’t enough, Mark Tucker’s per Nyt navn: Miller | MacDonald | Cormier21-04-2018 12:00
Skotske "border pipes", Cape Breton-violin, gælisk sang. Det er essensen af den amerikansk-canadiske trio Miller | MacDonald | Cormier, der er seneste navn hos Yellow House Booking. Trioen er blevet beskrevet som "et af Cape Bretons vigtigste folkemusiknavne lige nu" og udkommer inden længe med deres første album. De kommer på en kort Danmarksturné i november 2018 - kontakt os for booking og mere info. BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 201805-04-2018 12:00 Mohsen Amini fra Talisk blev kåret som Musician of the Year og fabelagtige Karine Polwart vandt prisen som Folk Singer of the Year ved BBC Radio 2 Folk Music Awards i aftes! Sam Kelly & The Lost Boys var nominerede i kategorien Best Group, men den pris gik til irske Lankum. Ten Strings And A Goat Skin tager en pause22-01-2018 12:00 Den canadiske trio Ten String And A Goat Skin, der var på turné her i Danmark i november, har netop annonceret, at de fra udgangen af april holder en længere pause fra turnélivet. De har turneret nærmest non-stop de sidste fire år, og har valgt at tage et pusterum for at få tid til andre ting og søge lidt ny inspiration. Men de kommer sikkert stærkt tilbage, før du aner det! Sam Kelly & The Lost Boys - Pretty Peggy25-11-2017 12:00
Sam Kelly & The Lost Boys har netop udgivet albummet "Pretty Peggy", og de gode anmeldelser er allerede væltet ind:
"If this album doesn’t pick up several Folk Award nominations there’s something seriously wrong – it’s as damn near perfect as you can get" - Mike Harding
"Amazing, thrilling music" - Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
"Folk hasn’t rocked this hard since Fairport’s heyday – this album thrillingly captures their live verve, muscle and electricity" - Morning Star
"If there’s a better folk album released in 2017 I look forward to hearing it" - Folk Monthly
"Eclectic, bold and intriguing – the darkly mystical Shining Ship teeters on Pink Floyd territory. Kelly’s a risk taker but a calculated one – he ticks so many boxes it’s hard to see how he couldn’t appeal to most people" - Colin Irwin, fRoots
"Sam Kelly & The Lost Boys are hot property. It’s difficult to think I will hear a better album this year" – Shire Folk Magazine
"There are some records that just make me very happy and this is one of them. There are fresh delights at every turn. Sam and his have made one of the albums of the year" ***** – RnR Magazine
"An excellent album. Dynamic, energetic folk rock – boldly modernised trad songs and originals" – Songlines
"Sam Kelly and The Lost Boys have produced one of the folk albums of the Nyt navn: Karine Polwart17-08-2017 12:00  Det er en stor fornøjelse at endelig kunne bekendtgøre vores samarbejde med den fantastiske skotske sanger og sangskriver Karine Polwart. Hun kommer på en Danmarksturné til marts 2019 med sin bror Steven, men der er kun et begrænset antal datoer til rådighed, sådet er med at være hurtig! Nyt navn: Sam Kelly30-05-2017 12:00
Jeg har netop lavet en aftale om en Danmarksturné med et af Englands hotteste folknavne, Sam Kelly. Datoerne er ikke helt på plads endnu, men det bliver sandsynligvis i 2019. Sam er også at finde på årets Tønder Festival, hvor han kommer med sit band The Lost Boys (hvor Ciaran Algar er et af medlemmerne). Kan varmt anbefales! Nyt navn: Talisk07-02-2017 12:00  Ved den netop overståede Celtic Connections festival i Glasgow faldt de sidste detaljer på plads med den skotske trio Talisk mht. en Danmarksturné i november 2018. Deres optræden på sidste års Tønder Festival var den udløsende faktor for vores samarbejde, og der er noget at glæde sig til for de danske publikummer! Talisk vandt i 2015 BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Music Award og er et af de hurtigst opstigende navne i skotsk folkemusik lige nu. De spiller med en entusiasme og musikalitet, som er få forundt - og svær ikke at blive fascineret af.
