The hum of traffic, the echo of footsteps, the rhythm of life — even in the busiest places, music finds its home.
Join Folk on Foot for Songs in the City — a journey through urban soundscapes where some of Britain’s finest musicians bring folk music to the heart of the city.
From Hackney Marshes to Soho’s backstreets, from Liverpool’s community halls to Birmingham’s canals, these performances capture the soul of the city — raw, intimate, and full of character.
🎶 Featuring:
Johnny Flynn – Ghost of O’Donahue (Hackney)
Richard Thompson – Walking the Long Miles Home (Soho)
Jon Wilkes – The Pretty Girls of Brummagem (Birmingham)
Jamie Webster – This Place (Liverpool)
Stick In The Wheel – Four Loom Weaver (Spitalfields)
Frank Turner – The Ballad of Me and My Friends (Holloway Road)
Kerry Andrew – Cuckoo (Brockwell)
🎥 These exclusive performances come from the Folk on Foot on Film Archive, usually available only to our Heroes who support us with £10 a month. To help keep us walking and filming across Britain and Ireland — and to see hundreds more song films — join us today.
