Over the past four years, Twisted Folk Tours have become known for
adventurous, hand picked line-ups representing the best in modern folk
and twisted popular music. It's Twisted Folk who put together this
year's highly successful collaboration between UK pastoral pop group
Tunng and Malawian desert bluesmen Tinariwen. Who assembled Nina
Nastasia, Jeffrey Lewis and William Elliot Whitmore for an extra-special
special tour. Sent Howe Gelb and the Voices Of Praise Choir off on a
nine-date jaunt around the UK, packaged King Creoste with Jose Gonzalez
and Vetiver (then featuring Devendra Banhart) with Micah P Hinson and
Vashti Bunyan.
Forthcoming tours
Twisted Folk presents Stornoway and Beth Jeans Houghton
Stornoway are a four-piece band of songsmiths, scholars, scientists and men of the earth, who play a charming brand of pastoral pop, showcased on their acclaimed first single ‘Zorbing’ . For the last couple of years they have been quietly honing their art in the shadows of the dreaming spires, but this year Oxford’s best-kept secret is finally out, and how!
They were booked to play an unprecedented four Glastonbury stages, headlined the BBC Introducing stage at the Big Weekend, and recently appeared on Later with Jools Holland with Jay Z and Foo Fighters. Catch them now before things get out of hand...
“Stornowayʼs sound is like shifting sand: a mixture of acoustic pastorals, pop balledry and folkedelia” The Independent
Beth Jeans Houghton ‘joins the dots between Gwen Stefani and Vashti Bunyan’ to paraphrase the Guardian. She has been playing guitar since the age of 16, and she's only 19 now. In the meantime, she's supported Tunng and Tinariwen, hobnobbed with Vetiver, the late John Martyn, Bon Iver and Joanna Newsome and recorded a single (Golden/Nightswimmer) with Adem and an EP (Hot Toast Volume 1) with Mike Lindsay from Tunng.
Beth was the popular hit at this year’s Green Man festival, and now she’s working on her first album. She might have a sit down at some point, you never know.
