John Doyle til Tønder Festival03-06-2018 16:56 Den fabelagtige irske guitarist John Doyle kommer til Tønder Festival med to af sine faste musikalske legekammerater, John McCusker og Michael McGoldrick. De spiller fredag 24/8 og lørdag 25/8. Ray Cooper - Between the Golden Age & The Promised Land25-05-2018 12:00  I dag udkommer Ray Coopers tredje soloalbum, Between the Golden Age & The Promised Land, officielt (men de, der valgte at opleve ham live sammen med Leonard Podolak i marts kunne allerede der sikre sig et eksemplar).
Anmelderne har allerede kastet roser over det:
"...a majestic, tour-de-force of an album, destined, surely, to become one of the releases of the year [...] This is a wonderfully well-balanced collection, showcasing perfectly the consummate song-writing and musical skills of this multi-talented artist, an artist firmly at the forefront of contemporary singer-songwriters. The album delivers the aural equivalent of a wide-screen UHD cinematic experience, such is its richness, and it rewards the listener with the promise of songs that will long remain in the memory." - David Pratt, FATEA Magazine
"Legendary is a word oft-cheapened by inappropriate overuse, its status conferred without true reason. Although, when used to describe artists whose works deserve the accolade, those individuals demure and modestly reject its usage. It is my contention the music contained in ‘Between The Golden Age & The Promised Land’ from Ray Cooper deserves the tribute ... legendary now and in the future [...] The combination of Cooper’s deeply sonorous voice resonates the messages, coupled to hook-laden, instantly memorable tunes, to make this an album of outstanding quality and instant significance [...] prepare to be moved." - Tim Carrol Miller | MacDonald | Cormier - South Haven16-05-2018 12:00
Trioen Miller | MacDonald | Cormier har netop udgivet deres første album som trio. Albummet er indspillet i en gammel kirke i det lille samfund South Haven på Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, som også har lagt navn til albummet. De fleste af numrene er optaget live uden "overdubs" for at fange energien og synergien i samspillet mellem de tre bandmedlemmer.
Miller | MacDonald | Cormier er på Danmarksturné 6.-10. november 2018. Sam Kelly på Tønder Festival13-05-2018 20:06 Sam Kelly kan opleves på årets Tønder Festival med sit band The Lost Boys, både torsdag 23/8 og fredag 24/8. Husk også, at han kommer på Danmarksturné i september 2019 i en trio med to af de "fortabte drenge", Jamie Francis på banjo og Archie Churchill-Moss på harmonika. 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

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!

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!
