The End presents, a fitting folk finale!
The Feast of St Cecilia - a weird folk all dayer! from 2pm Sunday 22 Nov
Featuring
The Memory Band
http://thememoryband.com/
Stephen Cracknell’s project The Memory Band began life in 2003 with two seven inch EPs released on his own Hungry Hill label, run in conjunction with Spinney Records. Cracknell’s intention from the outset was for the band to be “an imaginary band, built inside a computer and made flesh by the contributions of numerous musicians. Live an acoustic band of ever changing numbers and on record a new approach to traditional music”
Collectress
http://collectress.co.uk/
Described as a cross between the Elysian Quartet and possessed Brontë sisters teasing an unsuspecting dinner party (Foxy Digitalis), Collectress are a quartet of long-term musical collaborators from London and Brighton. Their music treads a joyful line between the intricate and organic, with a nod to everyone from Philip Glass to Bach to John Adams, improvisors like The Necks to lo-fi chamber groups such as Rachels. They play and write with a sense of narrative, drawing the listener into a thoroughly distinctive and beguiling world of experimental chamber music.
Collectress are:
Quinta (violin, viola, saw, keyboard, vocals, recorder),
Caroline Weeks (flute, vocals, guitar, keyboard, recorder),
Rebecca Waterworth (‘cello, keyboard, vocals)
Alice Eldridge (‘cello, custom software, field recordings, vocals).
The Mae Trio

Incorporating stellar three-part harmonies, complex arrangements and lyrical sophistication, these youngsters are on a rapid rise. Recipients of the Folk Alliance Australia Youth Award, the prestigious Maton Class Act Award and the NFSA Folk Recording of the Year for their debut album Housewarming, The Mae Trio have made a colourful splash globally including international performances from Celtic Connections to Folk Alliance International in Kansas City, MIDEM Festival in Cannes and Americana Festival in Nashville, not to mention a string of shows at Australia’s leading festivals from Port Fairy Folk Festival to Blue Mountains Music Festival.
Maggie Rigby (banjo, ukuleles, guitar, marimba and vocals), Elsie Rigby (violin, ukulele and vocals) and Anita Hillman (cello, bass and vocals) started playing together in 2011, and the last year has seen the band burst onto the international scene. Their debut album Housewarming was produced by Luke Plumb of Shooglenifty and features percussionist extraordinaire James Mackintosh also of Shooglenifty fame.
It is a rare treat to experience such unique instrumentation and spine-tingling harmonies, and The Mae Trio promises bucketloads of both.
You are Wolf
http://www.youarewolf.com/
You Are Wolf (aka Kerry Andrew) explores English and American folk, fusing source material with leftfield pop and contemporary classical stylings, gentle touches of electronica and spoken word, all melded with an array of wild vocal techniques.
Spectral Chorus

Hailing from St Helens, Martin Baxter and Ewan Johnson started playing together after they met through a mutual friend after both being sacked from their Jobs. Ewan was living in a tiny hovel and one by one all of the band started living there sharing one bed. Ewan worked at a hotel by day making breakfast and that was the only thing they all ate for weeks.

“Very nice!” Andy Mckee — “Lovely playing” Martin Carthy

The Lords of Thyme
https://www.facebook.com/
The Lords of Thyme were formed after Circulus alumni Joe Woolley, Tali Trow and Pat Kenneally decided to record together. Sharing a love of esoteric folk, psych and progressive music, the trio emerged from their sessions with a clutch of surprisingly accessible tunes recorded with sensitivity, humour and verve. After recruiting folk songstress and Belle of London City Michelle Griffiths on vocals and penning more material, the quartet released their debut EP and limited edition 7” single titled Proud Maisre/If I was a Bird lovingly mixed by John Wood (Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, John Martyn) through Sunstone Records in April this year.
The group have since travelled up and down the UK delighting folk fans old and new with their shimmering swaying sounds, appearing at Moseley Folk festival on the Luna stage and collaborating with folk legend Bonnie Dobson on the Shirley Collins Inspired album to much acclaim.
