Calstock Arts are thrilled to introduce a double bill of folk; Goblin Band and Craven.*Goblin Band* formed from sessions of the same name run out of the HobGoblin Music shop in central London, organised by a collection of young queer folk obsessive friends and shop employees looking to forge their own way into folk music.
Through a fusion of harmony singing, fiddle, squeezebox, hurdy gurdy, recorders and more, Goblin Band deliver a charismatic alternative expression of English traditional culture in a way which is at once riotously joyful and deeply sincere.
*Craven* this Bristol/Stroud based Folk band perform traditional ballads with crafted arrangements. Their genre-bending soundworld takes influence from punk, electronic dance and classical chamber music.
Approaching the heavy themes of traditional folk – life, death, war and poverty – with irony and wry wit, and finding queer and contemporary ideas in old songs, and bringing out new meanings for new contexts.
Join us and enjoy an evening of world-class folk from these two incredible bands.
