At the forefront of contemporary English folk is Kent-born, Canada-based Lucy Farrell, who weaves unconventional melodies, sophisticated song-writing and beguiling vocals into enthralling live performances, perfect for a blissful afternoon set at Folk by the Oak!

We invite you to revel in the confident and deeply personal lyrical style of her own songs and the effortless familiarity she brings to traditional material, as Lucy performs tracks from her first, and long-awaited, solo album We Are Only Sound.

Hailed by The Guardian as a ‘fresh, thoughtful debut’, this is a collection of songs written during her many years collaborating with folk luminaries such as Emily Portman, The Unthanks and Eliza Carthy, taking in relationships, break-ups and motherhood amongst other life experiences and imbued with heartwarming wit and insight.
