One Week. Five Bands. Six New Songs
The Folk Effect is a free, online, high-speed music-writing event programmed over six days.
Five folk bands from across the UK will each have twenty-four hours to write a new song directly inspired by the one created and live streamed the day before in a celebration of creativity and togetherness.
In addition, emerging artist Jo May has been commissioned to create a lino-cut portrait of each band. Her film of this process will be edited with that of the performances and shown in a final omnibus streaming of all the new pieces.
This project is supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
The Bands – are a secret for the moment.
