More about: Music
St Albans Folk Festival concert is a double bill featuring two contrasting groups of guest performers.
FaltrUKeiras is a Galician community troupe bound together by their love of Galician traditional music, dance and “foliadas”, which are social gatherings to play, sing, and dance. Their lively bagpipe and tambourine tunes come full of community party vibes. Their name is the combination of the Galician sporran “faltriqueira” and their second home, the UK.
Culverake is a new traditional singing trio promising gusto and harmonies a plenty. Made up of three of the most talented members of the new generation of folk music performers, Seb Stone, Matt Quinn and Lizzy Hardingham, they breathe new life into timeless melodies.
There will be two supporting singers
Mark Ashworth is a songwriter, singer and musician rooted in the broad folk tradition and was the winner of the 2023 Watford Folk Club Songwriting Competition. His songs draw on wide influences, from traditional song and ballad forms to contemporary folk writers.
New Roots 2024 finalist Anna Bailey grew up in Yorkshire where she sang in local folk groups. Now based in London, she mainly sings unaccompanied traditional folk songs.
