⚡ NEW SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT ⚡ JUST LIKE CLAY SEPTEMBER 11TH | The Folklore Rooms £16adv | 18+ Tickets available via the website NOW 🖤 Born in the fields of Glastonbury Festival 2023, two globe-trotting groups, The Trouble Notes and Good Habits, joined forces for an impromptu set, combining their unique styles of joyous, string-led folk fusion. The synergy was so compelling that they reconvened a year later to form the brand new band Just Like Clay. This summer they will burst onto the scene with performances at some of UK and Europe’s largest festivals. They come wielding huge momentum and excitement for what the future has in store for the new group. FOLKLOREx

⚡ NEW SHOW ANNOUNCED ⚡ Folklore Sessions Presents: Joseph Arthur + Support August 11th | The Folklore Rooms £15adv | 18+ Tickets are on sale via the website NOW 🖤 JOSEPH ARTHUR is an American singer, also recognized for his qualities as a painter. Spotted by Lou Reed and Peter Gabriel, in 1996, the artist now has around fifteen albums to his credit. He’s also at the origin of several bands: The Lonely Astronauts, Fistful Mercy which he founded with Ben Harper or even RNDM with Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam. Joseph Arthur on stage could be described as a fallen or cursed angel, who with his guitar, pedals and mics, builds live real swirling and captivating melodies which gives stripped-down pieces, without artifice, inhabited solely by the singer’s voice. Joseph Arthur draws his inspiration from Leonard Cohen, Joe Henry and Jeff Buckley. The finesse of the compositions and the richness of the orchestrations make Joseph Arthur one of the best American songwriters of the XXI century. His song “In the Sun” was covered by singer Michael Stipe of R.E.M and Chris Martin of Coldplay, as well as by Peter Gabriel. FOLKLOREx
