the furrow collective

The Furrow Collective are Lucy Farrell – viola, voice & saw, Rachel Newton – harp, fiddle, voice, Emily Portman – banjo, concertina, voice and Alasdair Roberts – guitars, voice. Drawn together by a shared love of the traditional song and balladry of England, Scotland and beyond and an open, intuitive approach to collaboration, the group released their debut album At Our Next Meeting in 2013.  In recognition of their innovative approach, The Furrow Collective were awarded the accolade of 2017 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards ‘Best Group’, hot on the heels of their second album, Wild Hog (Hudson Records). Their latest lunar-themed release We Know by the Moon is the much anticipated follow-up to Fathoms (2018). The Furrow Collective tour extensively throughout the UK as well as in mainland Europe, delighting audiences with their uniquely beguiling approach to traditional song.

‘The Furrow Collective have an air of immeasurable antiquity, while at the same time making the songs vibrantly new’. R2
