A musical collective, independent live promoter and record label founded by Sorry-member Campbell Baum, Broadside Hacks have won widespread critical acclaim for bringing the folk tradition to new generations of audiences. Building on their regularly sold-out nights in London, shows with The Pogues, and stages at SXSW, the group hosts their roster of celebrated artists this autumn with their most comprehensive set of shows to date.
Broadside Hacks' artists take turns in the limelight across a series of shows in UK and Ireland from September-November. In Leeds we welcome Goblin Band & Spitzer Space Telescope to The Attic.
Taking traditional English folk songs that date back as far back as the 17th century, Queer-folk quartet Goblin Band are rewriting the rulebook. Re-contextualising timeless, much-journeyed songs for the travails of contemporary society and the realities of the contemporary queer experience, expect a bulk of boundless, escapist joy too. In the words of folk legend Martin Carthy, “They go back to versions that we were too snotty to touch and they turn them into stomps!".
Also arriving with original material - via a Bob Dylan tribute act that’s hitting the main stage at Green Man Festival this summer - Spitzer Space Telescope (AKA Dan MacDonald) was born and raised in St John, Michigan, spending a decade travelling across America and Europe before settling in England to bellow out his charismatic folk charms, and recalling the classics of The Clancy Brothers and Pete Seeger.
Praise for The Broadside Hacks Folk Club:
'embracing ancient traditions to create an ultra-inclusive form of folk.'
The Guardian
'This essentially ancient music sounded like it belonged to the modern age.'
The Times
'as committed to the groundbreaking new wave of folk music talent as they are dedicated to honouring the veterans of the scene.'
Time Out
'Broadside Hacks have done sterling work in broadening the narratives surrounding traditional music, helping to transform ‘folk’ from something safe and secure, into something a little freer.'
CLASH
'a revelation in introducing predominantly indie centric audiences to the allure of trad folk.'
