Goblin Band Lewes
Broadside Hacks Recording Showcase presents Goblin Band live in Lewes at Lewes Con Club on 22nd October! Get tickets above, or from SeeTickets.
Coming ahead of the band’s biggest ever show-to-date at Hackney’s EartH theatre on 1st May – as part of their now annual Mayday celebrations – trad folk quartet Goblin Band return with new single ‘Clyde Water’ – out today (7th April) via Broadside Hacks Recordings (Sam Grassie, Milkweed, Spitzer Space Telescope).
A studio recording with producer Rory Salter, yet capturing the fizzing urgency of their live performances, Goblin Band bring out the exuberance and joy in the traditional ballad, drawing from Nic Jones’ versions of tune, and his ‘The Drowned Lovers’.
Issued digitally and on 7” vinyl along with B-side ‘Go From My Window’, it’s marks the band’s first release since November 2025 live album ‘A Loaf of Wax’, which increased the band’s growing list of press/radio backers to include The Quietus, MOJO, The Guardian, CRACK, BBC Radio 2’s Folk Show, KLOF, Tradfolk, Shindig!, Far Out, and more.
Speaking more about ‘Clyde Water’ Sonny Brazil (they/them) from the band says: “Clyde Water was one of the first traditional folk ballads I listened to on repeat. Nic Jones’ two distinctive versions of the song are both two of my favourite recordings of all time. It’s not a particularly relatable story (apart from the part where willie dies trying to save his hat I would’ve done the same) but it’s a pure example of how a ballad with no chorus can be incredibly fun and in no way boring”
Growing cult favourites on the thriving UK folk circuit who set their stall on re-energising timeless, much-journeyed songs for an ever-growing new community of enthusiasts, the band are fresh from a nationwide Broadside Hacks label tour last autumn, a trip to New Orleans for Folk Alliance festival in January. Brought together by a shared desire to recover the radical and progressive energy at the core of traditional music, the band are heavily inspired by the folk pastimes of Britain and abroad. Their seasonal headlines for winter solstice and May Day are now regular, sold-out events. with their performance at EartH next month their grandest occasion to date.
