Angeline Morrison is one of the leading voices in English folk music today, celebrated for her soulful, resonant voice, evocative songwriting, and deeply affecting performances. Her artistry has earned standing ovations on stages large and small, with Mojo ranking her #5 among key voices of 2023.
A singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Angeline’s music explores ordinary lives with reverence and curiosity. Accompanying herself on autoharp, dulcimer, and mbira, or singing unaccompanied, she delivers performances that linger long in memory. The Birmingham born-musician has lived in Cornwall for many years, where she is an active figure in the local music scene.
Her groundbreaking album The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience, released on Topic Records, illuminated the often-overlooked Black British presence within the folk canon. Hailed as The Guardian’s Folk Album of the Year, it spent 15 weeks in the Top 40 Official Folk Albums Chart and is described by Angeline as a re-storying and a gift to forgotten Black ancestors and today’s folk community.
In recent years, Angeline has performed at major festivals and venues including BBC Proms at The Glasshouse in Newcastle and Glastonbury Festival and made her TV debut on Later With Jools Holland during Black History Month 2022, singing Unknown African Boy. She is also sought after for radio appearances on BBC Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 4 and Radio 6 Music.
Angeline’s diverse influences span folk, soul and other genres, having performed in projects like The Mighty Sceptres and Rowan: Morrison. Currently, she records and tours with her band and collaborators. Her forthcoming album, Luminous Dark, explores themes of alchemy, magic, and decolonisation, embracing the transformative power of the union between darkness and light.
“Dazzling…a startling record of resistance, rebellion and celebration.” – The Guardian
Goblin Band are a four-piece English traditional folk band based in London. Firmly rooted in the folk music of England, the band shines a light on an alternative perspective on the UK’s social and political history, particularly the history of the working classes, industrialisation and colonialism. Through a fusion of harmony singing, fiddle, squeezeboxes, hurdy gurdy, recorders and more, Goblin Band deliver a charismatic and unruly alternative expression of English traditional music which is both riotously joyful and deeply sincere.
They have released Come Slack Your Horse! (EP, May 2024, Broadside Hacks), A Loaf of Wax (Live from MOTH Club) (Album, November 2025, Broadside Hacks), and most recently Clyde Water / Go From My Window (Single, April 2026, Broadside Hacks).
