Event information

The Hyde Park Folk Club is back on the 26th of March!

This show will be the launch of Georgie Buchanans highly anticipated debut album launch 'Wise as a Fool'

“This is beautiful, subtle and sophisticated folk music. Ethereal yet rooted. I can’t wait to hear more from Georgie Buchanan.” Miranda Sykes (Show of Hands)

Inspired by voyages to the Outer Hebrides, tales of ancient Celtic Goddesses and great folk singers from Peggy Seegar to Joni Mitchell, Georgie Buchanan is a unique singer and harpist on the contemporary folk scene.

Hailing from the North Shore Mountains of Canada and the Chiltern Hills, Georgie has always felt most at home creating music in the rich landscapes of the natural world. Since immersing herself in the folk world she’s performed with Show of Hands on the main stage of Sidmouth Folk Festival, been selected for Sound and Music’s highly competitive New Voices Programme and had one of her original songs ‘Love is a Rocking Wave’ played on The Nest Collective’s ‘Singing with Nightingales, Homecoming Broadcast’ hosted by Sam Lee.

In 2021 Georgie was selected to take part in the English Folk Expo’s Artist Mentoring Programme and has performed at Focus Wales and Cambridge Folk Festival. In 2022 she supported renowned folk acts Ye Vagabonds, Katherine Priddy and John Francis Flynn.

Georgie will be performing music from her debut album Wise as a Fool alongside Emma Coleman (Me and My Friends) and Evan Davies (The Often Herd), Rob Mackay (Drymbago) and Joel Stedman (Ancient Infinity Orchestra) Working with this talented band, Georgie crafts haunting musical landscapes of acapella harmonies and shimmering instrumentals.
Interweaving traditional melodies with original compositions, songs and stories, Georgie’s music speaks of a heartfelt connection with the natural world and charts a personal story of recovery that is relatable at its core.

+ Support coming from Alice Kim

Leeds-based singer Alice Kim has lended her soulful, refined vocal talents to a huge range of projects over the last 5 years. With electro-dream ensemble Hunrosa and funk-pop New Position she has performed at a long list of legendary UK venues (XOYO, London Jazz Cafe, Band on the Wall, Belgrave Music Hall, the Wardrobe). By working with her favourite musicians across the North, Alice Kim is in the process of distilling her distinctive blend of soul, folk and electro-pop – she is funneling these combinations into what will take shape as a debut EP.
