Trembling Bells with Mike Heron

A monthly evening of the finest folk music live at the Old Queens Head in Islington.

In conjunction with Willesdon Folk Union, The Nest Collective are pleased to present Trembling Bells and Mike Heron!

Trembling Bells' are an acclaimed indie folk rock band that reference late 1960s psychedelia and British folk revival acts such as Fairport Convention and the Incredible String Band. Lavinia Blackwall's soaring vocal style has drawn comparisons to Sandy Denny, and she took part in the recent tour 'The Lady A Homage to Sandy Denny' which was televised by the BBC.
This tour ‘The Circle is Unbroken’ follows on from the release of Trembling Bells’ acclaimed collaborative album and tour with Bonnie Prince Billy 'The Marble Downs' on Honest Jon’s last year.

Mike Heron is a Scottish singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, best known for his work in the Incredible String Band. The group built a considerable following, especially within the British counterculture in the 60's and 70's and were pioneers of psychedelic folk, integrating a wide variety of traditional music forms, blending rock, folk and world music into an atmospheric whole. A new Incredible String Band album ‘Live at The Filmore 1968’ was released on Hux this year.

Here are the band performing 'Waltz to the new moon' in the Celtic Connections show in January.
