Green Folk — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 16:23:19 +0000

The good news is that the single is available on iTunes, Amazon and now Spotify, both tracks are available for the princely sum of £1.68 on iTunes and £1.58 on Amazon.

The songs continue to sell and we’re hoping for new releases in the Autumn.

The video to My Daemon Lover is available here on this website or over on YouTube and continues to be very popular. We’re hoping to make that commercially available soon too.

Weekend gig news

Green Folk — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 10:32:26 +0000

We were busy bunnies over the weekend, we had a good time at the 7th Annual Whatstandwell Festival playing alongside LoFiLung and Lucy Ward, both great musicians and fun to see and hear. We were called on to play an encore which was very nice of the audience some of whom were bizarrely dressed for a beach party- near Matlock???

Next day we had a last minute request to play at The Mercia Marina in Willington and again had great fun and were told later “you were the best band all weekend”- which is always good to hear.

We’re working on some new material at the moment and we’re talking to show promoters so check back soon for some more gig dates.

Whatstandwell Festival

Green Folk — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 09:28:20 +0000

We had a lot of fun at the Whatstandwell Festival, there were some really good bands on; we supported LoFi Lung and the brilliant Lucy Ward. The audience were a lot of fun too and the organisers at Hankin Farm were very friendly. We were even called back for an encore- always good news when it’s a new crowd… maybe we’ll see you there next time?

3rd July- Festival this weekend!

Green Folk — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 08:53:05 +0000

South Derbyshire Alternative Folk Rockers Green Fortune will be playing at Whatstandwell Beer Festival, Derbyshire, on July 3rd along with some great musicians and bands including Lucy Ward and Lo Fi Lung.

The entrance fee is £5 and includes a free souvenir glass. Gates open at 2pm and the fun starts at 4pm when the music programme commences. Green Fortune will be onstage around 6:15pm; the festival goes on until 11pm, with a continuous flow of music. Don’t be late!

Weekend gigs

Saturday night saw us playing at The Wharf in Welford- a good venue with a good receptive crowd. The gig was a tough one for us though- very cold fingers aren’t conducive to good string playing! Despite Mark’s attempt to break all of his strings the audience still danced- must’ve been the beer.

Sunday saw us in The Wetmore Whistle with Northern Monkey- what a great band they are! We’re hoping to work with them again in the future. One of the best things about being in a working band is the really great people you get to meet, whether musicians, artists or music lovers of all kinds.

Wishing you all a very happy solstice.

Next few gigs/ new CD available soon

Green Folk — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 17:06:57 +0000

We’ve been busy preparing our newly produced version of My Daemon Lover, along with supporting song The Gypsy’s Curse over the last few weeks and we should have copies of the CD available when we play at The Wharf and also at The Wetmore Whistle on 19th & 20th June respectively. We’ve added a couple of new songs to our set list and they’ll both get their first airings at these upcoming gigs. Hope to see you there…

Great gig, strange gig…

Mayday saw us at Swithland Beltane Ball with a gig raising money for cancer charities. What a great time was had by all- we had a lot of fun and the whole evening rocked!! There were some very good performances by Cirrus Wheel (on their first outing with their new line up), Stefan Seniuk “The Devil’s Bard” with an introduction to the Bardic tradition, belly dancers, then Raven Kings with a great folk rock set and finally Green Fortune with an intro by the Ashby Drummers. Once the drum beats got going everyone wanted to dance- so dance they did! Rhys played some really hot stuff on his harp and we were called back for an encore! Looking forward to the next one…
