  • Bio

    Fola is/are Andy & Kate, who are based in the marvellous Black Country to the west of Birmingham. Playing mainly original songs, mixed with some Irish traditional tunes and the odd folk song, Fola's strength is in their engaging live performance. We have recently recorded a set of tracks partly at Pure Studios with Andy Seward (double bass and engineer to Kate Rusby and Eddi Reader) and partly at our own studio, An Seomra Glas...the good news is that the CD is now available from us at gigs. .... ..You should create your own ..MySpace Layouts.. like me by using ..nUCLEArcENTURy...COM's ..MySpace Profile Editor..!.. .... To Prove Our Love Was True recorded at the Zodiac Sessions Dublin 21st May 2008 .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ............Free Music.... Latest review of Goodnight Soldier in Acoustic Magazine 'Fola shine out like a beautiful voiced gem this month, thanks to a mini-album made up of five songs that are well played by guitarist Andy Lucas and sung by the silky voiced Kate Barry. Fola know that there's simply no substitute for great songs, and they've crafted five that should appeal to fans of traditional folk music as well as the more mainstream minded. Keep an eye on their website to see where they're playing next. They're surely worthy of a night out'.

  • STEP005 - Motta, Champa…

    Arguably Stepping Forward's strongest single release to date; Motta, Champagne, MSDOS & State Logic ALL come 'cross with stunning work in the form of "The Need In Me / Maiko". Both of these songs are A-cut level material and making the rounds with all the major players in the world of Liquid right now. MSDOS and Motta's material is being bigged up by the one and only LTJ Bukem in nearly ever set he plays these days.
