Living with Machines

Join us at the wonderful Grove Folk Club for the album launch of this new Yorkshire-based folk collective.

Multi-instrumentalists and singers Alice Jones, Pete Dilley, Katy Ryder and Simon Robinson are on a mission to breathe fresh life into 19th century strike and industrial songs of the North of England.

Their self-titled debut album brings together long-untouched archive material from the British Library, carefully recrafting these old songs for the modern audience.

“These powerful new melodies sound like they were meant for the lyrics, while the subject matter of striking, hardships and disasters will still resonate with listeners today.” (Steve Tilston)
