“Skilled guitarist, distinctive songwriter & a fine singer” - Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2
George Boomsma, a singer songwriter from Northallerton, North Yorkshire was the very first ShireFolk Artists and one of the reasons that ShireFolk is even a thing! After hearing his angelic vocals, incredible guitar playing and beautiful song writing, we knew we had to find a way to bring him to the Shires.
We are so excited that George will be rejoining us in 2026 with a FULL BAND at St Leonard’s Church in Bridgnorth!
He has been invited to support and perform alongside many established artists such as Richard Thompson, Scott Matthews, Katherine Priddy, Gaby Moreno, Kathryn Williams and The Travelling Band. On top of these live performances, his music been featured on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 6 Music, RTE Radio 1 and BBC Radio Ulster.
"A sensational guitarist and a beautiful singer-songwriter, a name to watch." - Moseley Folk Festival
Having honed his song-writing craft and live performances over the past decade, George has been gaining some well-earnt attention and acclaim. His pure voice and tumbling guitar make for a bewitching combination, with a maturity and poetic lyricism that have left audiences around the country entranced. His songs reflect on themes from navigating relationships, family, self-acceptance, grief and finding a path forward despite uncertainties.
