THE FOLK
This four piece girl band from Buntingford, Hertfordshire are set to storm into stardom very soon. The group is made up of 4 quirky and unique individuals; Lucy Holmes, Lauren Deakin-Davies, Sam Saward and Rose Goodship. Their individuality is reflected in their varying musical tastes, ranging from French music to the likes of Lady Gaga! So, don’t just expect Folk music from them, but do expect plenty of Folk instruments and the perfect acoustic pop- folk blend! The Folk make a refreshing change from the pop manufactured girl groups that are in the charts today. What’s even more unique, is the fact that they busk for their money so be sure to keep an eye out for them in Hertford! Give them some of your loose change and then you can proudly say you helped fund them before they became famous, which won’t be long, believe us! What makes The Folk even better is that they’re Ambassadors for the Hertfordshire Music Songwriter Competition 2012. What an inspirational bunch of Folk they are! The Folk are currently gigging their hearts out in Hertfordshire and London, so be sure to keep a look out! Also, book the Rhythms of the World Festival (taking place in Hitchin) into your diaries, as they’ll be appearing there this July! You can check out their gigs and any further information you may need on their Facebook page ‘The Folk’, follow them on Twitter @thefolkuk or have a look at their website http://www.thefolk.co.uk./ Why not take a listen to their debut single ‘When it rains’ http://soundcloud.com/thefolk/01-when-it-rains and ensure you take a look at our sneak preview of their new song ‘Here come the Creeps’. The Folk’s debut single ’When it rains’ is released digitally through Ditto Music on the 12.04.12 and will be available on iTunes, Amazon, Napster, Nokia etc. Their EP (Extended-Play Single) ‘Dressed Up’ is available for £5; contact them via their website to get one. This will probably be the cheapest you’ll ever get their songs, so don’t miss out! by Jade Clifton Brown of FAME magazine |
