11 October: Singaround: Informal, unplugged song circle

Another of our very 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.

18 October: Jack Rutter

Yorkshire folk singer Jack Rutter has established himself as one of the standout voices of the folk, roots and acoustic music scene in recent years. A hugely engaging stage presence, his soaring vocal, powerhouse guitar and bouzouki playing and masterful arrangements of traditional songs and contemporary covers have enthralled audiences from the largest festival main stages to the most intimate folk clubs.

His latest album, Wandered, released just this month, represents a new chapter for his music. Self-produced for the first time, this record explores new ground with the inclusion of layered field recordings, ambient textures, instrumental pieces and contemporary songs that sit beside the traditional, always retaining the essence of Jack’s traditional roots and signature guitar and vocals. Performances were captured in single takes live in the studio with multi-instrumentalist Jack also adding bouzouki, harmonica, concertina, harmonium and stomp to the album.

Jack made his first visit to TwickFolk in 2023 and we are delighted to welcome him back for what promises to be an exceptional evening.

25 October: Luke Jackson

We are delighted to welcome back the incomparable Luke Jackson. Luke’s appearance at TwickFolk in January last year sold out quickly so early booking is advised.

Blessed with a distinctive, bluesy, soulful voice, Luke has developed an enviable reputation on the roots, acoustic, folk and Americana circuits by virtue of his acclaimed recordings and dynamic live performances. Between his debut album released in 2012, through to his latest release in 2024 are seven records, including a live album, Solo, Duo, Trio, which were all released to high praise and five-star reviews.

Luke tours regularly tours across the UK, Europe, USA and Canada, and career highlights include playing the Costa Del Folk Festival in Portugal, two weeks songwriting and performing in Nashville, and support slots for Jools Holland, Fairport Convention and Richard Thompson. His seventh studio album, Bloom, released in 2024, gained universally positive reviews.
