Goblin Band

DOORS 7PM / PERFORMANCE 8PM

GOBLIN BAND

“They can play, they can sing & they’re fearless... When I saw Goblin Band singing recently, I just thought, “Why didn’t I think of that?...”Martin Carthy

There’s something of a stir around Goblin Band. Formed around the infamous sessions that run out of HobGoblin Music shop in central London, they already have Martin Carthy and Paul McCartney under their spell.

“Rowdy flamboyant folk” The Guardian

A talented young queer four-piece, Goblin Band play a widerange of traditional and medieval instruments,revelling in folk’s socialist tradition.

“Phenomenally talented, high-energy band” Sidmouth Herald

Through a fusion of harmony singing, fiddle, squeezebox, hurdy gurdy and more, Goblin deliver a charismatic stomping expression of English traditional culture in a way which is at once riotously joyful and deeply sincere.
