“They can play, they can sing & they’re fearless… When I saw Goblin Band singing recently, I just thought, “Why didn’t I think of that? ” – Martin Carthy There’s something of a stir around Goblin Band. Formed around the infamous sessions that run out of HobGoblin Music shop in central London, they already have Martin Carthy & Paul McCartney under their spell. “Rowdy flamboyant folk” – The Guardian A talented young queer four-piece, Goblin Band play a wide range of traditional and medieval instruments, revelling in folk’s socialist tradition. “Phenomenally talented, high-energy band” –Sidmouth Herald Through a fusion of harmony singing, fiddle, squeezebox, hurdy gurdy and more, Goblin deliver a charismatic stomping expression of English traditional culture in a way which is at once riotously joyful and deeply sincere. -------------------- Bristol Folk Festival -------------------- This concert forms part of Bristol Folk Festival 2025.
