Like a brand new pair of slippers, there’s something exciting yet entirely familiar about Folk On’s music and stories. Their sound is honest and pure, with tight rural harmonies and melodies as sweet as village fete jam. Get ready to laugh, cry (perhaps?) and join in with a good old-fashioned village sing-along.

Our friends at Swanwick have laid on extra bar staff for the interval, so recharge your glasses and get your laughing chops ready for round two!
Barbara Nice

BGT semi-finalist Barbara Nice gave up the domestic bliss of Tupperware and Poundstretcher shops to perform playful, life-affirming shows for all. With the affectionate attitude of a playgroup leader at an Iggy Pop concert, Barbara Nice is guaranteed to get you laughing.
