We are visiting all the acoustic music sessions and venues in the UK we can find over the next few years for a book and film celebrating the movement we are all part of and checking out the health of community based folk-roots music making in the UK. 

We are adding details of all of the places (and the lovely people) we have visited on the places page as we go and a big thanks to all of the folks who have taken part so far.   We are serialising the first draft of the book so if you want to write about your own story, session, singaround or club for the stories section that would be great.

 So – feel free to email your recordings, pics, blurb and website links over to us and we’ll add it all to the mix.

Do get in touch if you would like a visit. Hope to see you in your local soon….

Award winning theme song!

The ‘Rolling On’ theme song won the Milkmaid Folk Club Songwriting award in 2017. Here’s Tony Phillips with  MFC’s John Bosely receiving the award at the Bury St Edmunds club in Suffolk, England.

Our own local, the Plough and Fleece Community Pub in Horningsea, Cambridge has echoed with the sound of stories and songs since the mid 1700’s and it’s this unbroken tradition that led the session regulars to write the lyric for ‘Rolling On’ and this song provides the focal point for the project, sharing that and other songs with like minded musicians, music lovers, promoters, venues and sessions whilst soaking up the fabulous live acoustic music on offer in every corner of the UK.

We record the local punters belting out the chorus and then patch them in with the ultimate idea of creating the world record for the most number of people singing on a single track. Check out the soundcloud link below for the latest mix with over 500 people joining in.

As at December 2020, we are up to 1940
singers from 97 different venues!


Here’s a mix of the Rolling On song with just over 500 people on the chorus – we love the bit at the  end where one of the singers from one of the sessions asks ‘were we the best?’
