Glymjack is an English folk act Acoustic calls "as good as contemporary folk comes".
I saw them recently at Broadstairs Winterfest and asked them to come and play here as soon as they got off stage. They will get you moving!
Led by singer-songwriter Greg McDonald, Glymjack generally play live as an acoustic trio with Greg joined by fiddle virtuoso Gemma Gayner and bassist Dickon Collinson, delivering a high energy, harmony-rich set of hard-hitting originals, English folk songs and fiddle tunes. For bigger gigs Glymjack expands to a six piece festival band line-up.
The term Glymjack is Victorian criminal underworld slang for a street child who led strangers through the streets of London at night with a lantern.

Virtually every song is a tour-de-force the overall sound is very much in the English folk tradition but it's the songs that make Glymjack such a spectacular listen and what songs they are if you like music that has substance, quality and style then this is for you.

For fans of proper folk-rock, in the Fairport / Bellowhead vein, there's plenty to get their teeth into, but McDonald's poetic, literate, raw, unadorned songwriting is what hits best
The Arts Desk
Amazing original songs and some strange and lovely traditional music
