Woodburner presents: The Medlars Local Album Launch with support from Apple of my Eye

The Medlars will be officially releasing their debut album on the 5th May with Pear o'Legs Records, so this is your chance to get your hands on it a month before anyone else.

The Medlars are a seven piece contemporary folk band based in London. Their music is raw and rhythmically driven with orchestral and psychedelic undertones, layering melodies and harmonies to illuminate their political and socially conscious messages.

They formed after meeting at university in 2016 through Jimmy Grayburn, who at the time was performing as a solo artist. His lyrics tackle issues around environmentalism, homelessness and austerity cuts and are accompanied by the Medlars’ unique and frank sound. The band’s influences include Johnny Flynn, Nic Jones, Chris Wood and Cocos Lovers.

We are excited to present the launch of their highly anticipated debut record, which is released through Pear O’Legs Records having been recorded at the acclaimed Soup Studios. Expect the full 7-piece band in attendance with all the vibes.
