We’ve got something we’ve been meaning to tell you..

We’ve been busy, see. Busy buried away in the WWL Secret Bunker planning, and listening, and writing and scurrying about. We’ve done a lot of scurrying about. But it’s all been worth it, because our silence and semi-secrecy (we’ve been tweeting this shit for weeks, folks) allows us to announce our favourite thing ever – we’re starting a record label!

Folkroom Records. That’s what we’re calling it. It’s very exciting, and it goes a little something like this:

1. We are Folkroom Records. Every couple of months or so, we’ll be releasing EPs by some of our favourite acts.

2. You can buy them! Of course. That’s sort of how this works. We’ll be putting out full plans in the next few weeks, but know this – we’ll have a subscription service that allows you to buy the music cheaper, earlier, and with shiny exclusive content! BAM.

3. On the 17th of December, you can get a sneak peek of things to come! Why’s that? We’re releasing a free compilation album featuring a ton of acts who have played Folkroom gigs in the past – folks like Worry Dolls, Dave Gerard, Josienne Clarke, O. Chapman and Camille Delean. Or Woodfood Green, Andrew Butler, Jessie Moncrieff and Laura Boyle. In fact, ‘Folkroom Presents… Anthology One’ will be our first step into blowing your minds with genuinely gorgeous folk music.

4. Almost all of the acts will also be popping down to The Queen’s Head on Acton Street in London that night, playing sets at our Folkroom Launch Party! There’ll be cider, music, collaborations and excited sounds from me, sitting at the back, clapping. But seriously – the gig is free, and promises to be one of the most unique and special nights you’ll experience in music.

There’ll be more announcements in days to come, but for now we just suggest you check us out and pop on down on the 17th!
