Experience Goblin Band’s fiery folk music in a magical Roundhouse setting!
Single ticket £22.50
Celebrate the height of summer with an evening of stomping folk music played by Goblin Band on a wide range of traditional and medieval instruments in the unique setting of our Great Roundhouse!
Goblin Band was formed by a collection of young queer folk obsessive friends and shop employees looking to forge their own way into folk music. This gave rise to a band of multi-instrumentalists firmly rooted in the folk music of Britain. Through a fusion of harmony singing, fiddle, squeezebox, hurdy gurdy, recorders and more, Goblin Band deliver a charismatic, alternative expression of English traditional culture in a way which is at once riotously joyful and deeply sincere.
They look forward to enthralling you with music ranging from energetic jigs to beautiful song!
"They can play and they can sing and they’re fearless...When I saw Goblin Band singing recently, I just thought, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
- MARTIN CARTHY
“One of the most magnificent things this listener has heard in a long, long time.”
