Milkweed

Experience the singular folk tradition of Milkweed, the enigmatic ‘slacker‑trad’ duo redefining what folk music can be.

Rooted in old songs and storytelling, Milkweed draw from ancient texts, mythic lore and traditional British and Appalachian influences to craft songs that feel both timeless and alive – lyrical tales sung with clarity and depth. Their latest work Remscéla draws on the epic Irish tale Táin Bó Cuailnge, while past releases explore folklore and legend through their distinct approach.

On stage, Milkweed’s performance brings these narratives to life with voice, guitar and banjo – a bold celebration of folk’s past and present that invites you to listen closely and lose yourself in story and song.

Presented by Bristol Beacon.
