Folklore Featuring Joyce The Librarian + Guests

Event information

JOYCE THE LIBRARIAN are a group from Bristol, England. None of them are called Joyce, nor do they work in libraries.

Pigeonholed loosely between folk and indie, they have caused a genuine stir on the acoustic scene, winning fans from a variety of key underground sources and in 2012, they're set to win a lot more. The enthusiastic and wonderfully eclectic Jen Long played material from their debut EP, and from simply sending out a few records themselves, the likes of For Folk's Sake, Thank Folk For That and Subba Cultcha also wrote kind words on these, their earliest efforts.

From here and despite their unsigned status at the time, Euros Child, the Welsh folkpop songsmith previously of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, took the band on their first UK tour at the end of 2011. That successful tour was swiftly followed by a series of months holed away and working on their debut full length, “They May Put Land Between Us”. The album, a mix of old and new material, will be released nationwide on Folkwit Records this November. These stripped back recordings have a warm, organic feel about them that comes from taking on most of the production duties themselves and is only enhanced by the mix and master work done by Ali Chant (M Ward, PJ Harvey, Gruff Rhys, Perfume Genius).

The first single from this record, “Follow Me, I'm Right Behind You”, sums up Joyce The Librarian's songwriting. Showcasing honest, personal and acutely melodic songwriting, there is no pretense or allusions to passing trends. “Seven Swans”-era Sufjan Stevens, the aforementioned M Ward and Simon & Garfunkel inform the group's sound but ultimately their's is entirely one of their own.



SUN COLLECTIVE

Sun Collective are a relatively new addition to the London scene and describe themselves as indie Chamber Pop Noise!! With a huge amount of members we’re hoping that we’ll be able to fit them into Jamboree (Let alone the stage) with influences that include Chopin, Radiohead, Miles Davies and The Beach Boys they have been impressing audiences with thier unique sound and are definately ones to watch!!!


SIMON STANLEY WARD

Although only 25 years old, Simon Stanley Ward has been performing ruthlessly for the last 10 years. His music is constantly evolving as Simon continues to experiment and develop as a songwriter and performer. From the age of 15 Simon was the lead singer for over 6 years with the country rock band Black Bart. This hard working 4 piece band toured the country and played in many festivals releasing 2 E.P's and a self titled album. Simon has since moved to London bringing his own personal unique blend of County, Americana and Folk songs to the capital. Last year Stanley Ward released his first solo E.P titled "Myself to Blame" and has been a regular fixture on London's growing Americana scene. In the summer of 2011 Simon took his solo show over to the US where he played gigs in Nashville and the surrounding area of Tennessee. 2012 sees Simon set to release his first solo album as well as continuing to gig relentlessly across London with shows planned for elsewhere in Europe at the end of the year.
