Description

Goblin Band formed from sessions of the same name run out of the HobGoblin Music shop in central London, organised by a collection of young queer folk obsessive friends and shop employees looking to forge their own way into folk music. This gave rise to a band of multi-instrumentalists firmly rooted in the folk music of Britain, interpreted via the socialist tradition concerned with folk?s relationship to the history of the working classes, capitalism, and colonialism. Through a fusion of harmony singing, fiddle, squeezebox, hurdy gurdy, recorders and more, Goblin Band deliver a charismatic alternative expression of English traditional culture in a way which is at once riotously joyful and deeply sincere.

"They can play and they can sing and they?re fearless...When I saw Goblin
Band singing recently, I just thought, ?Why didn?t I think of that??

- MARTIN CARTHY

?One of the most magnificent things this listener has heard in a long, long time.?

-MOOF Mag

?They throw down challenges, invite questions, and warm hearts.?

-Sidmouth Herald
