Mawkin: "Since their formation in 2002 Mawkin have grown into one of brit-folks brightest new guns: a blistering 5-piece band fusing folk, world, jazz, prog and rock, they are no strangers to the cutting edge of the contemporary music scene while still reigning all the verve and mystique of ancient folk music traditions from across the globe.Forged out of the electric partnership of brothers Jamie and David Delarre, Mawkin are a concoction of brilliantly inventive musicianship and uninhibited carnal exuberance. Initially coming together as a 3-piece the Delarre brothers enlisted the help of good friend and rock bassist Danny Crump. Starting out as a “bunch of mates” they played to a rapturous crowd at the 2002 Dartmoor Festival and before long Mawkin were performing at festivals across the country even though 2/3rds of the band weren’t old enough to drive." - Artists' website

Multiple award-bedecked outfit with a glorious catalogue of releases to which they have added yet another jewel... fabulous!

Moirai:  "is a meeting of the musical minds of: Jo Freya (Blowzabella, Token Women, Fraser Sisters), Sarah Matthews (Cupola, Cupola:Ward) and Melanie Biggs (All Blacked Up). Having played together many a tune in sessions throughout the country, it was decided to knit together their various talents by forming Moirai. Moirai means Spinners of Destiny and performances weave the trios instrumental talents with haunting vocals. The result: enchanting musical arrangements delivered with skill and a healthy dollop of humour."  - Wildgoose Records website

James Delarre & Saul Rose: "Forged from the folk melting pot that is Sidmouth Folk Festival, Saul Rose (Waterson:Carthy, Faustus) and James Delarre (Mawkin, Jim Moray Band) have been threatening to play as a duo for some time. Thankfully they have found enough time in their busy touring schedules to put together this truly captivating and hypnotic sound. Bringing together the classic combination of fiddle and melodeon and inspired by 15 years of playing on the English folk music scene this duo harness all the subtleties of traditional music while still producing an exciting and energetic display of musicianship."  - Artists' website

Telling The Bees: "are an innovative acoustic band making a unique and original music they call darkly crafted folk. They met in 2007 at Oxford's legendary Catweazle Club, and have released two acclaimed albums, Untie the Wind and An English Arcanum. In 2011 they expanded to the current five-piece line-up and their eagerly awaited third album, Steer by the Stars, is released on May 1st 2015. Taking their inspiration from folklore, landscape, psychedelia, paganism, and the politics of protest, Telling the Bees mix driving songs and tune-sets with haunting ballads. Intelligent lyrics, exotic rhythms and modes, and instruments as varied as fiddle, mandolin, cello, double bass, concertina, stomp box and English bagpipes are brought together in skilful arrangements, wild at times, gentle at others. With a powerful sound, Telling the Bees conjure vivid images, as crafted, rugged and graceful as a woodcut."  - Artists' website

Niamh Boadle: "hasn’t just jumped off the bus and decided to be a folk star. Her apprenticeship started as a young kid turning up and doing folk club spots playing, singing or dancing. The first time I heard her I was gob-smacked. For a youngster she was far too good a guitarist, far too talented a musician and far too engaging and mature with her audience. So when that gorgeous voice sails beautifully across a club room or festival site we all put our drinks down, stand straight and still and acknowledge that we are hearing and sharing something very special. Her career inevitably continues to blossom. Her club and festival performances are unique and inspiring to musicians of all ages and she stands head and shoulders above her peers. Her success is guaranteed. Catch a performance at a club near you soon. Great songwriter!!! She is magic!!!" - Anthony John Clarke

"Niamh Boadle comes from the Fylde coast of Anglo-Irish stock and Maid On The Shore, her second album, reflects her heritage. It’s an intriguing mix of traditional and modern music in which it can be hard to distinguish between the two. Niamh is a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, fiddle, whistles, mandolin and bodhran but she doesn’t indulge in flashy multi-tracking. She’s joined on three tracks by Paul Sartin on piano and oboe but his contributions are unobtrusive." - Wildgoose Records website

Mollie O'Brien & Rich Moore:  She has been called one of roots music’s best interpreters and singers, and her voice described as “smooth,” “smoky,” “powerful,” and “bright and bold as sheet lightning.” Once you’ve heard it, you’re hooked. Mollie’s recordings are a tribute to the variety of her taste and the versatility of her performance. On her solo CDs — Every Night in the Week and I Never Move Too Soon (on Resounding Records) and Tell It True, Big Red Sun, and Things I Gave Away (on Sugar Hill) — she moves without hesitation from style to style, dipping into the songs of Lennon and McCartney, Percy Mayfield, Memphis Minnie, Chuck Berry, and the Subdudes. Showcasing her old-time, folk, blues, and gospel chops are three albums with Tim O’Brien (Take Me Back, Remember Me, and Away Out on the Mountain — all on the Sugar Hill label). There have been any number of collaborations, most notably the Grammy-winning True Life Blues: The Songs of Bill Monroe (Sugar Hill) with a stellar bunch of bluegrass greats. For the past few years, Mollie has worked with Garrison Keillor and Robin & Linda Williams as the Hopeful Gospel Quartet, with her own five-piece band, and as a duo with husband Rich Moore. Mollie has earned rave notices at major festivals and venues throughout the U.S. and in the United Kingdom, Europe, and South America." - Artist's website

"Rich Moore is well-known and well-loved in Colorado's acoustic music family and has lived and performed here for over 25 years. He made his reputation early on as bassist and guitarist with stellar local outfits like The Solid Senders, and in recent years has been the rhythmic bedrock for Pete Wernick's Live Five, Celeste Krenz, and with ensembles fronted by his wife, the internationally-esteemed vocalist Mollie O'Brien. He is guitarist of choice for folk legend Tom Paxton, who invariably requests Moore as a sideman for his Colorado shows." - Artist's website

The rightly celebrated husband and wife duo of Mollie O'Brien & Rich Moore will be in concert with Little Rock Folk Club on Fri May 15th 2015 - info at www.littlerockfolkclub.org/
