About Hey Ho! Folk
March 9, 2019
Jack Sharp, Marisa Straccia and Davy Willis are what you might call enthusiastic novices when it comes to traditional folk songs. We are relatively new to singing them ourselves. Since 2015 we've been running a folk night in Bedfordshire, UK called Hey Ho! Folk (previously known as Mill Race Folk) Our aim is to create an intimate, cosy acoustic folk night with the best folk artists from around the country. We were meeting all these great singers and players such as The Askew Sisters, Martin Carthy, Stick In The Wheel and John Kirkpatrick (to name but a few!) and we felt it would be great to share that in a podcast format.
We want to find out more about traditional folk songs and through running our folk night we have this opportunity to learn straight from the people who sing them. In the podcasts we ask the performers to choose a song to play as a session, then we have a little chat about it!
