The Full English play London Folk & Roots festival

The Full English are Seth Lakeman, Martin Simpson, Fay Hield, Nancy Kerr, Sam Sweeney, Rob Harbron and Ben Nicholls who will perform new music and arrangements inspired by material Fay Hield has found within The Full English archive.

The Full English is a groundbreaking project delivered by the English Folk Dance and Song Society drawing together the most important early 20th century collections into the most comprehensive searchable database of British folk songs, tunes, dances and customs in the world. Spearheaded by Fay Hield, The Full English band have delved into the archives and turned some of those dusty old pages into vibrant new sound.
