Taking inspiration from the likes of Fairport
Convention, Pentangle and Led Zeppelin’s acoustic explorations, Galley Beggar’s
music sets out to imagine the next phase of English Folk Rock. Their live
performances bring the intensity of a rock band to electric folk and include
plenty of instrument changes as they move from music found within the
collections of Cecil Sharp and Francis Child through to electrified psychedelic
freakouts. Harmony vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin, violin,
recorder, bass and drums make up the sound of Galley Beggar.
“The themes and textures of Galley Beggar’s music all
combine together to form a well produced selection of songs that bring a bygone
age – or bygone ages – into the twenty-first century. It’s a gorgeous, gorgeous
sound that demands repeated listens”
– Stephen Morris, BBC
Introducing
“This septet ticks every folk rock box you can think
of, from big harmonies to stately, thumping rhythms to diddly and, indeed,
diddly” - Rock N Reel Magazine
“Producing work likes this will establish Galley Beggar among the folk rock favourites. Even if that means they steal fans from more illustrious bands” - Folk Words
