About me:

click here to visit our main site

Firstly as you may have guessed this myspace is concerned with folk, roots and acoustic music, and no offence but I have a 'deny' button and I will use it, please visit our main site at www.folkandroots.co.uk to see what Folk and Roots is about before requesting our 'friendship'.

If you are going to request our myspace friendship and your site is relevant please visit our main site and we would be more than happy to add your link, list your events etc, if you arent going to make use of the facility that is folk and roots, its a bit pointless requesting our friendship really..

Come visit us at Folk and Roots

Of course if you have requested us to add your music based (artist, agency, company etc) site as a friend and you have a 'real' web address drop us a line and we'll add your site as a link at the web address above, and if you are a UK based folk, acoustic etc artist or venue/club let us know and we'll include your gig dates in our listings, which are accessed by an increasing number of acoustic gig goers (for want of a better term).

Who I'd like to meet:

Someone who will give me money with no strings attached.... The above video is Niamh Ni Charra ..Recorded at the debut CD launch of 'FROM BOTH SIDES' ON 25.02.07 at The Gathering Festival,Killarney.Ireland.

    A bit of advance notice - MondayMonday proudly presents Rún and Steven Finn and more at The Wilmington Arms, Clerkenwell on Monday 7th December

    Rún collect and arrange old folk songs written in the ancient language of Erin. So far, thanks to Nora from Donegal, they have a nice wee collection of well-known ditties and are now adding to their repertoire with some unusual old forgotten songs from the province of Ulster. Rún are five fantastic lassies who perform four-part vocal arrangements of old Gaelic songs like ’An Cailín Rua’ (the red-haired girl), ’Casadh an tSúgain’ (twisting the hayrope) and ’Bo Na Leath Adhairce’ (the one-horned cow). Rún is the Gaelic word for ’secret, wish or love’ (cf. rune). See http://www.myspace.com/runceol ..

    Steven Finn’s ears were filled with the music of Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Johnny Cash and old time country music. Aged 15 he began teaching himself the guitar, learning songs like Leadbelly’s ‘Bourgeois Blues’ and Charlie Daniels’ ‘The devil went down to Georgia’. On hearing Bob Dylan songs Finn started to write his own words and in doing so found a lifelong passion for Jazz and Folk Blues, a getaway car he could drive.
