Dear Friends
After a long and quiet absence
we would like to give a big hello and apologies for our hibernation and
depriving you of your folk hit. It has been a productive last few months for the
Magpie’s Nest team and we have taken the long dark nights to ponder over how the
future will look finally re-emerging with a Nest laden with three fine Eggs and
a horizon speckled with new music, new nights and new venues.
When the
club started 3 years ago, we had no idea the responsibility we were taking on in
not only making folk cool but bringing cool people to folk. We like to
think that one hell of a scene has emerged in London and we may have played a
small part in making that happen. But as the face of this scene changes and
ideas and interests develop we would like to now share with you our vision and
hope that you can support us and the music that seems intent on flourishing.
Remember Live Music needs a Live Audience!
The Magpie’s Nest has changed!
It is now the umbrella under which we introduce to you our three new offspring
nights; TWO FOR JOY, FOLKLAHOMA and the CUCKOO’S NEST Sessions.
These are the names under which all future music nights, concerts, showcases,
festival stages, festivals? Will continue.
These ‘children of’ will work as
thus….. Administered by Joe Buirski and housed at Stoke Newington International
Airport plus the Old Queen's Head we introduce TWO FOR JOY, details below.
Administered by Sam Lee through the English Folk Dance and Song Society at Cecil
Sharp House, the OQH and other venues we introduce FOLKLAHOMA. Lastly, The
Cuckoo’s Nest bi-monthly sessions for instrumentalists. To find out what each
names sounds, looks and feels like you will have to come and see. Still
predominantly the last Wednesdays of the month.
These new enterprises
seek to showcase this ever shape-shifting genre and bring aspects of the music
to you that the MN could only hint at. Call it re-branding, we call it the new
brood.
All nights will be listed through the Magpie’s
Nest website or click on the logos to view facebook groups and more
info.
Thank you for reading and see you out and about
soon.
