Multi-award winning Merry Hell offer joyful, uplifting folk-rock, with a message of hope for troubled times. Native to the North-West of England, the 8-piece musical charabanc emerged from the embers of the much-loved folk-punk band The Tansads, before developing a life and feel all of its own. Their energy and passion are complemented by their love of what they do and desire to share hope and togetherness with as many people as possible. Through 6 well-received albums and hundreds of gigs, they’ve offered voices of hope and beacons of light to anyone valuing both melody and positive humanity. Their live appearances have won many admirers, a recent review referred to 'every performance a celebration' and they are currently holders of Folking.com's Best Live Band Award. The group performs as either a full electric 8-piece or a slimmed down, more acoustic 6-piece but offer all the songs, all the spirit and all the energy. The retrospective album, Let The Music Speak For Itself distilled 12 years together, 6 albums and 100s of gigs into a history and introduction to the band in all its moods it Their reputation grows internationally, with the 2021 single When We Meet Again hitting No.8 in the USA Folk Radio charts. Established as festival favourites through uplifting live performances, all confirming that this is a band continually on the rise. The new album Rising Of The Bold followed their 3 previous releases into the upper reaches of the Official Folk Chart, and cracked the mainstream album chart as well, along with a 2 month return stretch in the US Folk Airplay chart!
