We’re overjoyed to announce that The Proclaimers will headline Folk by the Oak 2022!
They join the legendary Richard Thompson on our main stage 'line-up of headliners', along with a much anticipated return for The Unthanks, a long awaited appearance by the Sam Sweeney Band, and 2 simply incredible collaborations in the form of Spell Songs and AKA Trio.
Folk by the Oak will bring you award winning musicians and inspiring new talent in one memorable day.
Our carefully curated line-up is complemented by our lovingly hand-picked caterers and craftspeople. For our younger 'Folk by the Oakers' we have a world of creative workshops to discover onsite as well as our dedicated family friendly area.
“A glorious blend of music and pictures celebrating British wildlife with all kinds of fantastic folk players involved.”
Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2 Folk Show
Commissioned by Folk by the Oak in 2018, Spell Songs is a musical evolution of both The Lost Words & The Lost Spells books by acclaimed author Robert Macfarlane and award-winning illustrator Jackie Morris; creating a listening experience that intersects music, literature, language and art, as a call to reawaken our love of the wild.
The Spell Songs ensemble features the multifaceted talents and collaborative genius of Karine Polwart, Julie Fowlis, Seckou Keita, Kris Drever, Rachel Newton, Beth Porter and Jim Molyneux
Following the hugely successful release of their first album (The Lost Words: Spell Songs 2019) we are thrilled that Spell Songs II: Let The Light In is out now.
