Joe Boughton director

A folk supergroup with a richly diverse cultural heritage

The UK's biggest folk band, The Conservatoire Folk Ensemble, have to be seen and heard to be believed. Led by fiddle player and arranger听Joe Broughton听(The Urban Folk Quartet, The Albion Band, Joss Stone), they have established a reputation for creating energetic and powerful shows. The personal influences of each member shapes the set-list, as traditional English and Celtic reels slide into full-on rock grooves, funk, jazz, hip-hop, ska and reggae. Eastern European and Asian flourishes can also be heard, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the group.

听This is very much 21st century folk. This is 鈥楶ower Folk鈥�.
