A CONTEMPORARY folk band is heading to Bridport Electric Palace as part of an autumn tour.

Bristol band Faeland will play the venue on Saturday, October 27.

Fusing deep folk tradition and acoustic instrumentation, Faeland bring their innovative and subtly experimental approach to contemporary music.

They have recently recorded and released their debut album All My Swim which is receiving support and acclaim from BBC 6 Music, Uncut Magazine, Shire Folk Magazine and a host of others. Their first two singles and album have been supported by Tom Robinson and Gideon Coe of BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing and BBC Scotland, to name a few.

The album will performed on an all-acoustic instrumental line up: guitars, beautiful vocals, double bass, violins, accordion and Celtic harp.

The band's debut album, All My Swim (which they crowdfunded for and have self-released) is a beautiful selection of original, modern folk compositions influenced by music from both sides of the Atlantic. It gives the duo’s personal spin on classic themes of humanity, such as love, healing, and magic.
