I started writing about folk music, mainly because I couldn't find any other young people who did. And although there's some great folk and traditional music publications and websites out there, I wanted to start my own zine.
So this is what For Folk’s Sake is all about. A cheap, cut-and-stick bedroom effort which you'd usually find in indie or punk circles, but about folk music!
The kind folk at Cup have also let me steal a night each month to host For Folk's Sake live, where a blend of folk-influenced musicians and spoken word artists come together to showcase their sounds, words and stories. It's usually the first Thursday of the month, 6-9pm at Cup, 53-55 Thomas St, Manchester, but keep your eye on this merry page.
'Thanks again for a great evening. Varied, good quality acts, well organised, and an attentive audience - the perfect mix! We were disappointed that we could only hear one song by Ottersgear before we had to leave for the train.'
For Folk's Sake is part of the Undergrowth Collective.
