Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 21/08/2026I think Bryars’ annual playing of the piece at St Martin’s In The Field in solidarity with London’s homeless population helps put to rest the idea that it is exploitative. 2131

Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 03/08/2026Jack Sharp & @naomirandall.bsky.social’s The Thorn were the high point of this year’s Cambridge Folk Festival for me: firmly in that fine tradition of psychedelic folk rock pioneered by Trees. Naomi’s classic English folk voice is perfect for this. Can’t wait for the album! Here’s some lo-fi pics… 161
Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 29/07/2026I would happily spend whatever time I have as honcho of Folk Police Recordings bringing out records that sounds vaguely like this beauty 2141

Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 20/06/2026The best UK folk music imo is 1970s UK folk music. And one of the best practitioners of this was the peerless Barry Dransfield. Very sorry to hear we lost him this week. I’ll be digging out some of his music. 040

Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 15/02/2026Great album. I saw them a couple of years later at the New Ardri Ballroom in Hulme, Manchester with fIREHOSE and AC Temple supporting. A mind-blowing set -see below! And yes, ’dropping’ in this context sets the teeth on edge a little :) 130

Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 21/01/2026It makes me unreasonably happy to know that there are English folk bands out there that base their entire look on the fellow from this Matt Bors cartoon 000
Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 19/01/2026Now playing: Grass. Such a beautiful album. I could listen to this sort of heavy psych folk rock all day 070

Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 20/12/2025Now playing: Starry Mind by PG Six. IMHO, opening track ‘January’ is a textbook example of 21st century folk rock at its most thrilling 161
Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 17/12/2025Hey heavy-psych-folk-rock-loving drummers in the North West of England! Get in touch… 144
Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 16/12/2025Still, imo, one of the greatest albums ever made 1232
Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 16/12/2025Now playing: The Trimdon Grange Explosion’s self titled debut from 2018. A fantastic album, especially their version of the traditional ‘The Bonnie Banks of Fordie’ which is easily in my top five folk-rock songs 270

Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 14/12/2025Still obsessed with Fen Creatures by @fuzzylightsband.bsky.social - I’ve already played it a ridiculous number of times. Love it when a record grabs you like that 050
Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 12/12/2025As it’s my birthday I also snuck in a little present I bought for myself… 2110

Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 07/12/2025RIP Martin Parr. Loved his work. I always thought this one would make a brilliant album cover (Pant Shrapnel was a terribly named band that nearly existed) 040
Folk Police Recordings @folkpolice.com · 02/12/2025Now playing: digging out some rather nice psych folk I’ve not listened to in an age - The Glittering Fishes Were Stars by April in the Orange (US, self-released, 2011 with a hand-decorated sleeve). Can’t find anything about them online other than a couple of copies for sale on Discogs and eBay 141
