20 October: Singaround: Informal, unplugged song circle

Another of our popular singaround evenings.

Expect anything from sea shanties to psychedelia, with a mix of original songs, traditional songs and covers of well known and less known songs.
Some performers will take requests on the night.

If you fancy a go at singing in public, then this is the place to start.

If you just want to sit back and listen, that’s also fine. In fact listening, and paying attention to the words and music, is what an evening of folk is all about.

We welcome anyone with a song or a tune to play. Or a poem or a story tell. Expect a warm welcome and a supportive ring of singers and audience.

Non-performers are welcome to come and there is no need to pre-book.

27 October: Plumhall

Plumhall are Michelle Plum and Nick B Hall, critically acclaimed songwriters who use a mesmerising combination of acoustic and electric instruments to create breathtaking soundscapes to their powerful original songs. Renowned for their exquisite vocal harmonies and scintillating live guitar playing, they recently toured as guests on Fairport Convention’s 2024 winter tour. We are delighted to welcome them back to TwickFolk.

Plumhall’s first two studio albums, Thundercloud and The Ghost of Noise, earned the duo many plaudits including a Hidden Gem award from The Guardian/Observer. From the alt-country sound of the debut to the electronica and found sounds of the follow up, the duo have proved that they can fuse classic songwriting with genre-hopping studio experimentation. Their eagerly awaited third album, One Star Awake, was released in June 2024 and features Fairport’s Ric Sanders on one track.

Earlier this year, Plumhall played a series of shows opening for another ex-Fairporter, Iain Matthews. They have also sung on-stage with Al Stewart on several occasions, including unforgettable appearances at London’s Palladium and Cadogan Hall, and have performed alongside luminaries such as Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan guitarist/Levon Helm producer/instrumentalist) and Phil Beer… Continue reading. →

3 November: Sunjay + Robert Lane

With a relaxed and confident manner,  Sunjay walks on to a stage and addresses the audience as though he is sitting down to play music with a group of close friends; a completely natural approach for a young man who picked up the guitar when just 4 years old and hasn’t put it down since.

Sunjay’s style has a natural drift between folk and blues, and both camps have recognised his obvious flair. There have been a clutch of award nominations, including winning the Wath Festival Young Performers Award. He also made the final selection for the BBC’s Young Folk Award in 2012, had three nominations at the Exposure Music Awards 2014 and was also recognised by the 2014 British Blues Awards. His latest album, Black & Blues Revisited, was released in 2022.

Drawing from a rich, musical and cultural background it is hardly surprising that Sunjay has quickly become acknowledged as one of the folk scene’s rising stars. His performances have been described as “mature & confident”, while his guitar playing has been hailed as “superb, brilliant, experienced, intricate & faultless”. An evening with Sunjay is an evening of… Continue reading. →
