Join us for an evening of intimate, intricate folk storytelling among the books!

The Beadling are an English folk trio who blend traditional music and original composition, focusing on dynamic storytelling and uplifting voices that are often overlooked.

Using a multitude of instruments, the Beadling craft intricate arrangements to capture the rich emotional lives in these traditional stories and explore the impact that social identity had on folk figures of the past.

They'll be supported by True Rags, a trad folk duo who sing mostly unaccompanied harmonies.

They are drawn to songs of work and resistance, and to songs which bring the texture of people's lives in the past into the present. Seth is a gardener/printmaker based in South East London, and Sophie is part of Oxford's narrowboat community.

This promises to be a beautiful evening of song, struggle and storytelling. You are very welcome to be a part of it.
