Foyer Folk

Presented by Saffron Hall

Part of Foyer Clubs

Tickets from £18

Price includes a commission of £1.00

Our Foyer Club events offer a relaxed, cabaret-style atmosphere with intimate table seating, a full bar, and a rotating selection of food vans. The food van for this event will be announced closer to the date.

The Maes bring modern folk to life with lush harmonies and acoustic mastery on guitar, mandolin, fiddle and banjo. Born in Victoria Australia, the sisters grew up emersed in a melting pot of music from around the world washed up on stolen land. The Maes are outstanding live, with engaging storytelling and spinetingling harmonies. The sisters draw their audience in like your sweetest and scariest friend. With echoes of Gillian Welch and The Waifs, there is a timeless luminescence and simplicity to the songwriting and sound of Maggie and Elsie Rigby.
