Stick In The Wheel

Making a big impression in an ever-expanding scene, the five-piece band Stick In The Wheel play and sing songs that are both immediately modern and part of an ageless tradition.

Their culturally and politically switched-on storytelling and fierce, witty East Londoner delivery leave no doubt that Stick In The Wheel know exactly how to connect folk music with life today.

Think: English Folk music meets the Artful Dodger, Tracey Emin and Jeremy Hardy in equal measure!

Expect: compulsively engaging music, attention grabbing ideas, cheeky, sideways humour and entertaining fun.

Stick In The Wheels debut album From Here(2015) was fRoots magazine Album of the Year and a MOJO Folk Album of the Year, Their second album 'Follow Me True' - to be be released with this early 2018 tour - focusses on the world around us, the past repeating itself, ghosts and death, land and place, thieves and beggars - in other words, continuing to question the notion of what folk music is, and what it means, right here, right now..
