We are over the moon to share the line up for Moseley Folk 2017 with you all. As promised we have kept within our Folk, World and Roots remit and have managed to bring in some of the biggest names from these genres.
We are overjoyed to finally be welcoming Laura Marling to Moseley Folk! We have been trying since the first year so we're delighted that Laura will be joining us following the release of her sixth studio (top 5) album; Semper Femina. Laura will be joined on Sunday 3rd Sept by Kate Rusby, Roddy Woomble, Lankum (formerly lynched), The Furrow Collective, The Destroyers, Mike Heron & Trembling Bells, Alasdair Roberts, Marry Waterson & David A. Jaycock, The Standing Wave, Fenne Lily, Jess Morgan, Nifeco Costa & Babcock Jazz & Culture Dub Orchestra.
On the night before, Saturday 2nd Sept, we have two headliners! We are HUGE fans of Jose Gonzalez and have been trying to bring him back to Moseley Folk following his headline set in 2008. He will be playing an extended solo acoustic set which we think will be unmissable. After Jose has finished we'll be joined by a heavyweight of the Folk World which will be announced a little further down the line.
They will both be joined by Birmingham's own (Birmingham, Alabama) Shovels & Rope, Josienne Clark & Ben Walker, Michael Chapman, Trembling Bells, Throws, Kaia Kater, Laucan, Laura J Martin, Scott Hirsch, Dave Kusworth and Izzie Derry.
On the opening night, Friday 1st Sept, we are delighted to be welcoming another female headliner to our beautiful Moseley Park. Amy MacDonald has sold millions of records since her debut LP 'This is The Life' in 2007 and her latest album 'Under Stars' went straight in at #2 in the album charts! Her Birmingham show (tomorrow night) sold out months in advance so we're honoured to have her headlining the Friday night!
Amy will be joined by The Magic Numbers, Courtney Marie Andrews, John Moreland, Nadia Reid, Nap Eyes, John Pressley, Ren Harvieu, Diabel Cissokho and Matthew Edwards & The Unfortunates.
We are delighted to have such a diverse lineup of Folk, World, Roots heading to this year's Moseley Folk Festival! Tickets go on sale this Friday, 31st March, at midday!
