Singer-songwriter Lucy Wise has delighted audiences across Australia, New Zealand and the UK with her unique blend of folk, chamber and pop music combined with masterful storytelling. Drawing inspiration from her background in Appalachian and Celtic folk music, as well as legendary songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, Lucy’s songs sketch universally recognisable stories that are grounded in the realities of everyday experience.

Emerging from the forests of Belgrave come vibrant brass-clad acoustic duo The Bean Project. Featuring guitar and French horn, The Bean Project encompass the territory of folk, jazz and singer-songwriter genres, showcasing a distinctly unique style of original material. We welcome them back to congratulate them on winning the Youth Folk Alliance Award at the National Folk Festival.

Jed has been busy touring his new album, The Last Day of Winter. Whilst the new record retains his signature electric slide guitar playing, he has expanded his creative palette beyond the power trio format of bass, drums and guitars by bringing in Cat Canteri and Justin Bernasconi of The Stillsons. The result is a diverse collection of songs which focus on Rowe’s deft touch with story and melody, with an emotional depth that resonates after the final note falls away.

It’s been a year since Jenny Biddle left Oz to live in sunny Scotland and practise the art of making a woodstove fire with wet wood. Now with new material and old favourites, she’ll be touring Oz across summer and, of course, stopping off at Selby Folk Club.

Cheers! Selby Folk Club is on holidays in January - no concert booked. The line-up for 2017 will be amazing and we look forward to your continued support in making this such a unique place for performers and patrons alike. Have a safe, relaxing break and we'll be in touch soon with details for February's concert.

Cat Canteri is a true musician in the sense that she lives for the music. Now, in 2016, Cat has released her brand new EP Late At Night which captures both the vitality and intimacy of her live shows across six new songs. Her folk meets country meets indie-rock style still shines through as she ventures into new territory with the electric slide guitar and a bold and unselfconscious vocal delivery. You can hear traces of The Pretenders, Bonnie Raitt, Eleanor Friedberger and Ryan Adams filtered through the organic rock ’n’ roll of The Faces as she captures both the dash and brio of the live atmosphere and the melancholy of the late-night comedown.
