May Day: Goblin Band, Jim Ghedi + more

About

This event will take place in EartH Theatre. Goblin Band’s debut album A Loaf Of Wax is a live recording, capturing the euphoric energy of their onstage performances. The London-based quartet — Rowan Gatherer (hurdy-gurdy, recorder, reeds, vocals), Sonny Brazil (concertina, accordion, vocals), Gwena Harman (drums, pump organ, recorder, vocals), and Alice Beadle (violin, recorder) — fuse traditional folk with intense dynamism, humor, and political awareness. Formed to create a welcoming space for young and queer folk musicians, Goblin Band has quickly become a cornerstone of London’s progressive folk scene, performing across the city and beyond. Their music blends seasonal songs, radical energy, and audience interaction, delivering a live experience that is both immersive and joyous. Celebrated by folk veterans like Martin Carthy, Goblin Band channels centuries-old traditions through a modern, DIY ethos, creating music that’s as vibrant and rebellious as it is rooted in history.
