Welcome

to Todmorden Folk Festival 2018 We’re now four years in and still amazed and grateful for the support of our wonderful town in helping to make Todmorden Folk Festival one of the most valued and affordable folk festivals in the country. The key to this success has been the people of Todmorden and the surrounding area; local audiences who return year on year and local businesses who support the event through advertising, sponsorship and other contributions. This has made organising the folk festival a really rewarding and fulfilling hobby for our committee of volunteers.

Presenting the highest quality folk music is really important to us and we’re always on the hunt for the next wave of folk superstars. For the second year, we’ve run the Todmorden Folk Festival Youth Award where once again we were wowed by the amazing musicianship of the entrants. Whilst there can only be one winner, the standard was so high that all three finalists have been invited to perform on our stages at this festival. We hope you will enjoy the talent of Eve O’Riordan on Friday night, Orlando and Leo on Sunday night, and our winners Ursula and Sasha Gendinning who will open the Saturday night concert in the Unitarian Church.

Here at Tod FF HQ, ‘folk’ is a very broad church. We’re really proud to present around 30 artists over three days ranging from Americana, singer-songwriters, tunes, harmony singing, world music influences and many more. We are certain you’ll discover great new music and would urge you to seek out those artists you might not have heard before; you won’t be disappointed!

As ever, the festival will have a really visible presence on the streets of Tod with morris dancers, street buskers and family activities throughout the day on Saturday. Join our fantastic team in the Children’s Tent who will be hosting free kids workshops all day; with dancing, singing, music and craft activities; there’s lots of new and fun things to try. For the grownups, why not also browse the local craft fair in the Central Methodist Church on Saturday or enjoy a brew and butty in the festival café between gigs.

We hope we have created a fully inclusive, family friendly, action packed festival with something for everyone.

Welcome to our audiences, volunteers and artists from wherever you live. We hope you have a lovely time in Todmorden.

our Artists The Beau Dillies

Edwina Hayes

The Beau Dillies are a Ceilidh Folk band based in Calderdale, West Yorkshire. The quintet create beautiful music and dances suitable for all types of events. The band comprises: Natalie Speake as ceilidh dance caller and on ukulele/vocals, Amy-Rose Atkinson on fiddle/vocals, Gem James on Ukulele/vocals, Sarah Dale on ‘cello/vocals and Gil Burns on rhythm/caller/vocals.

Edwina’s beautifully written songs, charming stage presence and voice of an angel have won her a reputation as a true natural talent of gentle folk-Americana.

She has opened numerous shows for Jools Holland and Van Morrison as well as her own gigs playing stages everywhere from Glastonbury Festival to The Royal Albert Hall.

Edwina toured as support with Fairport Convention on their UK Wintour 2014, toured China a few months later, toured Australia in Spring 2015 and is now touring with The Mile Roses.

Ben Savage and Hannah Sanders

Huddled round a single microphone, singing intimate duets with just mountain dulcimer, dobro and guitar Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage are a folk duo that look & sound classically timeless, yet feel refreshingly unique. Their unique unplugged presentation creates a widescreen, cinematic soundscape with open spaces and atmosphere, giving their beautifully pure vocals room to share the songs’ emotion and narrative. The material is as joyful and fun as it is intense, but the common factor is the duo’s warmth and confidence in each other; their natural ease and connection is clearly evident on the recorded music, and a genuine pleasure to witness on stage.

Grace Petrie

A folk singer, songwriter and activist from Leicester, UK, she has been writing, recording and touring relentlessly ever since. She has racked up tour supports with Emmy the Great and Billy Bragg, and has also made her mark in the comedy scene supporting comedians Robin Ince and Josie Long. She’s appeared at Glastonbury four time at the invitation of Billy Bragg, as well as an eclectic genre-crossing mix of festivals Latitude, Musicport, Blissfields, Shrewsbury Folk Festival, Greenbelt and more including of course Cambridge Folk Festival. She has collaborated with some of the most respected names in folk, including Leon Rosselson, Roy Bailey and Peggy Seeger.

John Kirkpatrick

Melrose Quartet

John is one of the most prolific figures in English folk and has established an enviable reputation as an instrumental virtuoso and session musician, as well as a leading interpreter of English folk music.

He has been a member of the Albion Country Band, Magic Lantern, The Richard Thompson Band, Umps and Dumps, Steeleye Span, Brass Monkey, TransEurope Diatonique, and Band of Hope. As songwriter, composer, choreographer, and musical director, he has contributed to over sixty plays in the theatre and on radio.

And as featured artiste, band member, or session player, his music can be heard on over 200 different commercial recordings.

Nominated for Best Group, 2014 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, Melrose Quartet are truly an all-round folk act, with both tight a capella harmony and energy-packed instrumentals. They comprise leading English musicians Nancy Kerr (2015 BBC Folk Singer of the Year), James Fagan, Jess & Richard Arrowsmith with twin fiddles, guitar and bouzouki, melodeon and four strong voices.

The band present a bold take on old and new English songs and tunes, with a powerful treatment of traditional material alongside some of the best modern songwriting in the folk world. They reliably delight audiences with the infectious warmth and sparkle of four seasoned musicians.

Kimbers Men

Audiences rave over the harmonies of Kimber’s men. They have appeared at Festivals in Ostende, Appingedam, Portmagee, Portsoy, Fano in Denmark, and all over the UK. Featured twice on Sunday brunch for Channel 4 ,they also starred in the BBC2 and BBC4 production of Sea Songs, the latter being the most viewed programme of the year, on BBC 4.

our Artists Cont. extensively across Europe and USA both under his own name and with others. He is devoted researcher of English and Irish traditional music, a passionate teacher and member of the Band of Burns, a supergroup of International musicians.

Nick and Mary Barber

Nick and Mary Barber play English traditional dance music on melodeon and fiddle, with Nick also playing horn and recorder. The sources of their material include unpublished manuscripts, English session tunes, Nick’s own compositions, with a few French and Swedish tunes thrown in – but you can be sure they will weave some musical magic, whatever the source! Nick and Mary form half of English Rebellion together with Anahata and Mary Humphreys. Nick is musician for White Rose Morris Men, and Mary plays for the women’s Cotswold side, Hexadaisy.

Music for the Many

A not-so-quiet revolution is taking place in Todmorden. Music for the Many is a new charity aiming to bring back equal opportunities to music education, with some of our town’s professional musicians offering free instrumental and singing lessons to children in our primary schools. Todmorden Folk Festival proudly presents this very special launch event, with children from many parts of our community singing a richly coloured musical celebration of our many traditions. Beautiful ancient and modern folksong from England, Ireland, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Poland and more is brought to life by Todmorden’s brilliant young voices.

The future is right here!

Pilgrims Way

With influences starting in early music, passing through Playford and the Morris traditions, picking up prog, soul and pop, it’s impossible to categorise the sound they make as folk music is fed through their unique steam driven sound-mincing engine. Formed by default under a Stockport pub table in early 2010 by Ed, Tom and Lucy Wright, Pilgrims Way has grown to incorporate a dazzling array of instrumentation and millenary.

Sarah Watson

The 4 Hoarse Men

Sarah Watson’s country-folk portrays the heartbreak, tenderness and joy. Her voice, borne from a childhood spent singing in the valleys of Wales, and later studying music in Manchester, has grown into one reminiscent of Nanci Griffith or Mary Hopkin. Sarah plays festivals and events, supporting headline acts including Lucy Ward, Martin Carr and Bickers&Fij, and regularly features at The Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. With her guitar and songs about mortality, love and loss, Sarah’s music looks inside, elicits tears from men and women alike, and pulls us back to what’s important in life.

Formed in 2015, The 4 Hoarse Men all hail from the upper Calder valley: Todmorden, Hebden Bridge and Heptonstall and sing with several other local groups including Calder Valley Voices, Hepton Singers, Three Valleys Gospel Choir and Menfolk Waits. They sing an eclectic mix of folk, barbershop, self penned and Georgian in accapella harmony. They perform regularly around West Yorkshire including gigs in Huddersfield, Leeds and their own showcase as part of Hebden Bridge Folk Roots festival in 2017. They’re well chuffed to be invited to sing again at a home town festival.

The Scattering

Tom Kitching and Zoe Mulford

The Scattering formed in 2014. They describe themselves as a Celtic Rock Band playing a fusion of traditional Irish, Country, Rock and Hill Billy music. In a few short years The Scattering have headlined at the Manchester Irish Festival, played at Feel Good Festival and are quasi resident at The Flying Horse in Rochdale.

The Scattering are: Chris AddingtonGuitar and Vocals, Andy Kelly- Bass and Vocals, Dan Maylott- Guitar and Vocals, Jeremy Sleith- Drums and Percussion, Chris Wilkinson- Accordion, Cliff Woodworth- Violin and Mandolin

American songwriter, folk singer, and guitar/banjo player Zoe Mulford teams up with English fiddler/mandolinist Tom Kitching to bring together the best of two worlds. Zoe’s beautifully crafted songs and sparkling vocals draw on the traditional music of Appalachia and the British Isles to make sense of the modern world. Tom, known for his work with the BBC Folkaward nominated band Pilgrims’ Way, adds spirited instrumentals that are deeply rooted in the English folk dance tradition.

They are touring together in support of Zoe’s new album, “Small Brown Birds.”

400 Roses

Lancashire Wallopers

The 400 Roses is a unique Yorkshire side– founded by Christ Ogden, it’s a fusion of tribal belly dance and Morris formations with its own band t’Thorns playing traditional Morris tunes. The dances are done outside in the streets, in the wilds of village fetes, folk, waterways, steam trains and sheep festivals.

The team was originally formed in 1981 by students of the legendary clog dancer and music hall entertainer Sam Sherry.

The purpose of their formation was a one off performance at the National Gathering at Cecil Sharp House of the bargees social dance taught to them by Bill Gibbons.

They continue to perform traditional clog routines based on the steps of Sam Sherry and other famous clog dancers from the north of England.

Strictly Clog

Strictly Clog were formed in 2010 by well established clog friends who wanted to take clog dancing back to basics with minimum choreography and more emphasis on partnership with the music.

They have since performed at Beverley, Chippenham, Bromyard, Tredegar, House, Whitby, and Warwick folk festivals as well as Skipton Clog Fest and other local events.

North British Sword Dancers

Noted for their elegant dress sense and ‘sophisticated’ time-management skills, North British perform sword dances from England, Scotland, and the Isle of Man.

our Pop-up artists Amanda Fasciani

Music for the Many

- lead by Daniel Bath Local musician and composer, Daniel Bath, with a group of volunteers has recently established Music For The Many; a new charitable trust that will offer equal opportunities in music education to the children of Todmorden.

The charity recognises that everyone should have the opportunity to learn how to play music, if they want to, regardless of their social or economic background.

But without access to instruments or professional tuition, many children in Todmorden will miss this opportunity.

“Music for the Many” hopes to bridge this gap by offering donated and reconditioned instruments and free tuition to children who would like to take up the offer. The charitable trust will cover the expense of tuition removing any financial obstacles to participation in the scheme.

Music For The Many is currently being piloted at St. Joseph’s Primary School where over 20 children have already signed up for the scheme.

After a long hiatus from the music scene, Singer-songwriter and producer FASCIANI, finally has got off her comfy chair and threw away the slippers.

She’s back in the studio, taking inspiration from the likes of PJ Harvey, Siouxie and the Banshees, Lamb, Depeche mode, 80’s new wave even Taylor Swift, Adding overtones of Alternative and a smattering of Electronic she’s raring to go.

Brian Acton

Brian Acton is an internationally touring musician, best known to many up and down the valley as a music teacher. If it has strings, he can play it and make it sound good. His band ‘The Black Sheikhs’ are a firm fun time favourite, where he is lead on guitar and stand out vocals.

Paul Leeming

Paul threads dark humour through his songs, telling tales of romance, misadventure, shopping and regrettable life choices. He has played with a discerning selection of bands over the years including Mr. Wilson’s Second Liners and Lunar Coup, but sometimes...it’s just nice to play on your own.

Cobolt Tales

Originally from Wigan and Sheffield Pat and Nuala are experienced singer songwriters, described as the U.K.’s Indigo Girls.

Pat and Nuala first combined their musical talents in the highlands of Scotland, organising and performing at music events, festivals and gatherings.

Pat and Nuala tour extensively throughout the U.K. often playing sell out gigs to their home crowds in Yorkshire, Lancashire and beyond.

Songs from the heart that stir the soul.

Harmony Jar

Truly miserable country songs sung and played harmoniously by three warm, funny and engaging women. There will be highs, there will be lows, there will be laughter and tears, and that’s before we even come on stage. The Harmony Jar will soothe and entertain you with a mixture of original ballads and songs from a variety of genres treated to a country feel. We think you’ll like us.

our family events Happy Campers Theatre presents ‘COME-BYE’

Isaac Hughes-Dennis presents “WHEN? WHAT? WHERE? WHO-DINI?”

This timeless story takes audiences on a journey through the British countryside.

Shep lives on a farm. Every day he’s up with the sun to round up the sheep, it’s hard work and uneventful… until one day, he smells freedom in the air. In hot pursuit of a drifting leaf, Shep decides to venture out beyond the boundaries of the farm, and our adventure begins! A fun show for all the family with live music and audience interaction, “Come-bye!” is a wistful summer treat.

The story is largely told through the use of puppetry and physical comedy and we welcome very young children, non-English speakers and deaf audience members.

“Come-bye!” evokes the spirit of the British summer and is a one-of-a-kind experience for young and old alike!

A ramshackle adventure featuring local vagabond, scoundrel and all-round troublemaker Isaac Hughes-Dennis with his ludicrous showcase of strange and mysterious items he has picked up on his time travelling journeys. Magical items for the young and old alike, you are bound to be left confused and bemused and ever so slightly underwhelmed…
