BridgnorthJon Boden & the Remnant Kings - ShireFolk Presents - with support from Katie Spencer
19:00 - 22:30 30th May 2025
Castle Hall, BridgnorthMore InformationAmbitious, genre-busting folk’ The Guardian
Following the release of their new album ‘Parlour Ballads’ (Hudson Records) – released Sept ’24 - Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings return to the live arena with their unique brand of post-apocalyptic folk played in a traditional style vs. traditional folk played with post-apocalyptic swagger.
Boden’s Waitsian parlour ballads and Napoleonic power-pop, will be performed alongside the band’s fifteen-year back-catalogue of traditional and original songs and tunes. The band combines a deep understanding of traditional music with musical audacity and theatrical brio, and feature the enormous talents of Sam Sweeney (Bellowhead), Rob Harbron (Leveret), Ben Nicholls (Seth Lakeman Band), Sally Hawkins (Bellowhead) and the vocals and pedal-steel guitar of cult singer-songwriter M.G. Boulter.
Support for the evening comes from the wonderful Katie Spencer - The songwriting, and most notably her guitar playing stems from a time when the steel-stringed instrument was truly finding its voice. Artists like Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and perhaps most evidently Michael Chapman, flow into her sound, carrying with them the warmth and idealism of the early 70’s folk and songwriter movements.

Marmite to most musical confectionery, their debut album 'Tradesman's Entrance' and its successor 'Second City Liquor' have aired on BBC6's Stuart Maconie's Freakzone, Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service and Guy Garvey's Finest Hour (and previously on The John Peel Show on Radio 1), as well as receiving glowing reviews from Mojo, Uncut, Louder Than War and Stewart Lee in 'The Sunday Times': live, they remain consistently dangerous and a robust antidote to a fully digitalised itunes world.

Bella Hardy UK Tour

at Theatre Severn
ShrewsburyBella Hardy UK Tour
19:30 - 22:00 6th June 2025
More InformationBella Hardy, the inimitable voice of modern folk, is set to embark on a highly anticipated UK tour.
Hardy, a singer-songwriter with a gift for storytelling, has earned a reputation as a boundary-pushing artist whose work continues to evolve whilst staying deeply rooted in the traditions that shaped her.
This is spellbinding folk music for the modern age – rooted in tradition but unafraid to venture into new, uncharted, and very personal territory.
With the ability to conjure and twist stories that call straight to the heart, her themes of displacement and home, lost and found love, heartache and joy, are delivered with her unique, disarming honesty, and, of course, the acclaimed crystalline voice that won her BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Singer of the Year.
With award winning guitarist Jenn Butterworth by her side, these shows promise to be something truly special.Speaking about the tour, Bella says, “There’s something magical about performing live, where the songs can grow and change each night depending on the energy in the room. I’ll be performing a collection of songs very close to my heart, and there’s nothing like the energy of a live show to bring them to life.”

Haydn arr. Wranitsky: Quartet, Op.71, No.2Paul Wranitsky studied at the Theology Faculty of the University of Olomouc, Czech Republic, and later in Vienna. From 1790, he conducted both royal Viennese theatre orchestras. He was highly respected by Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven; the latter two preferred him as conductor of their new works.

During the event Alexis will be running a willow workshop and volunteers will be sharing their new skills to help visitors make a giant willow caterpillar.
As usual the Woodland camp café will be serving refreshments. Parking is available at Westhope College, SY7 9JL.
