We are sorry to announce that due to ill health, Emily Portman is sadly unable to perform at Folk Weekend Oxford.

Fortunately renowned singer Fay Hield has agreed to step in and will perform a duo show with Rob Harbron. Fay and Rob have worked together for many years – in Fay’s trio, in her band the Hurricane Party and in the BBC Folk Award-winning project The Full English.

Alongside traditional material Fay will perform songs from her album Wrackline which explores ideas of the spaces between, telling stories of ghosts, fairies, spirits and talking animals and drawing parallels with the modern world. With Rob’s multi-instrumental accompaniments and transporting instrumentals this will be a special evening which we hope you’ll join us for.

Please note, this concert will also be live streamed by our friends at Live To Your Living Room. Please head to www.livetoyourlivingroom.com to get tickets.
