Hull Folk Collective!
Although the Hull Folk Collective only formed in February 2017 they already had a wealth of experience on the folk circuit in, and around, the East Riding of Yorkshire.
Hailing from UK’s City of Culture for 2017 they consist of band members John & Rosie Butler (vocals), Chris Jordan (guitar, dulcimer, lyre, psaltery, cittern, percussion & vocals) and Kath Jordan (vocals) performing a mix of traditional and self-composed folk and maritime songs.
John & Rosie have long been singing folk and maritime songs and are more than happy to regale you with tales of their time spent working aboard the Grand Turk sailing ship.
Chris is currently in the final year of his MA at Hull College and is studying folk music. He has also performed live for many years appearing at many folk festivals including Bromyard, Sheffield, Whitby & Hull.
Kath recently joined the group to augment Rosie on vocals and add to our harmonic structure.
HFC are already beginning to create a fair bit of interest and regularly make appearances at folk clubs in and around their area. They have also appeared at Hull’s Ferens Art Gallery, as part of Soundscape 2017 which was itself part of the City of Culture celebrations, Hull’s Maritime Museum, Hull Minster, Hull Truck Theatre Company, Kardomah94, Whitby Yacht Club (for the Battle of Trafalgar Commemorations) and at many folk festivals.
The 14th June saw the Collective perform to a sold out Kardomah94 a show relating the story of 1,000 years of folk-song called From Sayers Creek to St Andrews Dock. The performance was a mix of song, narrative and film and period aromas.
July 29th, 2018 saw the Collective stage the first ever Hull Folk & History Trail, an event which generate a great amount of interest and is likely to be repeated in the future.
We are also looking to record our first album of songs for release later in the year.
HFC can perform sets with songs only or, if wished, interspersed with historical narrative readings about your area. We are more than happy to carry out the relevant research.
Hull Folk Collective: Chris, John, Kath & Rosie perform at Wilberforce House in Hull.
