This event has been archived!

A musical collective, independent live promoter and record label, 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 run of shows to date.
Taking turns in the limelight across a series of UK and Ireland dates from September-November, headliners include experimental folk-duo Milkweed. Fresh from the release of acclaimed ‘album of the year’ contender Remscéla - inspired by the Irish epic Táin Bó Cúailnge- the band are marking themselves as a must-see live act. Their second tour of 2025 follows plaudits from The Guardian, The Times, MOJO, The Quietus, and CRACK.
Also arriving with original material - via a Bob Dylan tribute act hitting the main stage at Green Man Festival this summer - SpitzerSpace Telescope (AKA Dan MacDonald) was born in St John, Michigan, and spent a decade travelling across America and Europe before settling in England to bellow out his charismatic folk charms, recalling The Clancy Brothers and Pete Seeger.
Reworking traditional English folk songs that date back to the 17th century, queer-folk quartet Goblin Band are rewriting the rulebook. Expect escapist joy and powerful reimaginings of timeless songs for today’s world.
