Folk in the Jar
7 pm
Come join us at @jaminajarbar on Weds 24th June for another evening of music and joy with a range of highly talented folk performers:
Darcy Harding is a London based artist, playing alongside her band, they blend alternative folk americana with groovy rhythms, jangly guitars and rocky percussion, taking inspiration from the folk rock genre.
Gabriel Moreno is Gibraltarian singer-songwriter, currently based in London. An irresistibly engaging performer, he combines a latin exuberance and passion with a rare lyrical calibre (he is also a published poet, with 12 books in Spanish and English). Performing on nylon-stringed guitar, he creates a live experience that has been described as ”Taberna Folk” – at once both energetic and intimate, anarchic and absorbing.
Lost in the Loop are Solly Hardwick and Eliza Burkitt, a London Folk duo playing traditional and original tunes on fiddle & cello/mandolin. From upbeat dancey tunes to slow and soulful airs, they bring fresh energy to timeless music. Solly and Eliza met at an Irish session in South London, inspired by the dance music of Ireland expect plenty of jigs, reels, and polkas, mixed with tunes from Scotland, England, and Scandinavia.
Phil Maguire is a folk and blues musician from South East London now based in Devon that has been touring their unique blend of contemporary and traditional folk music for over 10 years across the UK including notable shows at Green Man & Glastonbury Festival. A life of gigging on the road birthed a couple of singles that were followed by the EP ‘The Church Bell’ in early 2022. 2023 then saw the release of his debut album ‘Valley Of My Dreams’, a contemporary folk record steeped in tradition.
