There is a rich seam of forward thinking folk and jazz music in Sheffield, which we have been very proud to support in recent seasons

Folkatron Sessions are a collective of folk, jazz and electronic musicians from the UK and France who bonded over a love of ‘genre-bending’ [Folk Radio UK] folk music. Their ‘unique soundscape’ [Songlines Mag] refracts traditional folk through the lens of experimental and ambient electronica, bringing in jazz influences. Inhabiting soundworlds both intricate and atmospheric, and groove-based and pulsating, they blend electronics, strings, guitar and vocals for fans of Jarlath Henderson, Kan, Lau, Furrow Collective and the olllam.
