Hello! Today is Bandcamp Friday, when the artist gets 100% of any purchase on Bandcamp. So, if you were toying with buying one or more of our lovely songs (or anyone else's), then today would be a great time! theoldcrowroad.bandcamp.com/music #ukfolkmusic #bandcampfriday #bandcamp #folk

I know it looks boring, but please find the time to complete this if you are a fan of music. committees.parliament.uk/work/9161/fa... It's a chance to have your say. Fatea's mantra is giving artists a voice, well here's a chance for you to use your voice in support of the music we love.

Some great photos taken at our recent concert at St Mary's Church in South Dalton during a fairly dramatic storm. Thanks to everyone who braved the weather to come and listen! #folk #folkmusic #beverley #ukfolk #church

An amazing venue for last nights gig - although incredibly cold, with a storm raging outside. St Mary’s Church, South Dalton, East Riding of Yorkshire #folkmusic #churches #yorkshire

It’s finally there! First track from our Narrowboat Session! Check it out here: www.facebook.com/share/v/1FrQ... #folk #ukfolk #narrowboat #folkmusic

For Those About To Folk (We Salute You)

The legendary narrowboat of Narrowboat Sessions fame.

A fair old trek for us tomorrow!

Thanks for the review, @fateamagazine.bsky.social You can get your own copy over at theoldcrowroad.bandcamp.com right now, or everywhere else on the 12th Sept 2025 #folk #folkmusic #newmusic #bandcamp #fatea

Here's a preview of our next track "I Wish The Wars Were All Over", to be released on 12th September on all the usual streaming places. Even better, grab a copy from theoldcrowroad.bandcamp.com #folk #folkmusic #newmusic #bandcamp #ukfolkmusic

Valid point. If you care about a singer and/or band, get their music from BandCamp - that way they get paid fairly for their work. And if you can’t do that then at least avoid Spotify - worst of the lot! #bandcamp #spotify

Mixing now complete on our next track, with a release planned for 12th September!
