Listen to a curated playlist of some of the wonderful artists who will be playing at Cecil Sharp House this autumn here:
Our Chief Executive Katy Spicer says:
'Welcome to our winter/spring season 2023, and four months of non-stop folk activity brought to you from around the world. The music season kicks off appropriately with a traditional January Wassail from Jim Causley and Simon Pope to encourage an abundant crop of our Cecil Sharp House apples later in the year.
We welcome back Ballet Folk with their new dance show The Tears of Jenny Greenteeth with live music from Ciderhouse Rebellion.
House favourites Sam Sweeney, Gigspanner Big Band, and Hannah James and Toby Kuhn return and we are delighted to be partnering with Thank Folk For Feminism to present two concerts to mark International Women’s Day (and the day after!).
We also have first time visitors to the House – The Jeremiahs from Ireland and Jocelyn Pettit and Ellen Gira from Canada/USA.
The Hack Poets Guild (aka Marry Waterson, Nathaniel Mann and Lisa Knapp) musically explore 400 years of song sheets or Broadsides, while award-winning author and poet Blake Morrison and the Hosepipe Band bring us the beauty of countryside and coastline through poetry and music in The Ballad of Shingle Street.
Our popular Trad Nights continue with Sarah Matthews and Doug Eunson, George Sansom, and Fran Foote and Belinda Kempster, and in the final month of this season we are delighted to present our fabulous National Youth Folk Ensemble, Emily Mae Winters, Jim Ghedi, and Matt Quinn and George Sansom.
Let’s banish those winter blues – join us at Cecil Sharp House this season.'
