MG Boulter

This brilliant, eclectic and challenging new folk and experimental compilation has attracted a stellar cast of contributors while raising vital money for vulnerable young people in Southend. All in a very worthwhile cause.

We have a new Lost in Transmission mix featuring some of our favourites: Aldous Harding, Dawn Landes & Piers Facini, M.G. Boulter, Paper Beat Scissors, Annie Fleming & Viking Moses, Trembling Bells, Yorkston Thorne Khan and more.

With Wolves the Lamb Will Lie balances richly detailed lyrics with accessible arrangements which present M.G. Boulter’s musical vision intact. Anyone looking for instruction in the dark art of writing meaningful and original songs would be well-advised to give this a good, close listen; meanwhile the rest of us will be over here, losing ourselves in Matt’s music.

Our Folk Music Friday is back with our video showcase of some of the best there is in folk music from both the past and present. Featuring: Emily Smith, Jiggy, Bert Jansch, Fairport Convention, Marry Waterson and many more.

We have a video premiere today from M.G. Boulter for ‘The Last Song‘, a song that tears-along like that stolen bicycle in the film, it’s taken from his new album With Wolves The Lamb Will Lie due for released on 29 January 2016

There’s no doubt that Emily Portman has, with a little help from her friends, created and curated a dazzling display of writing and musicianship, but the real success of Coracle lies in the balancing of many seemingly disparate aspects to create an intensely luminous collection of songs whose articulate lyrics, virtuoso performances and intricate arrangements never overshadow the very real humanity which is at the heart of it all.

With The Boatswain’s Manual, M.G. Boulter and Samantha Whates provide a nostalgic but thoroughly enjoyable daytrip down memory lane. One to seek out!

With a UK tour and the proper release of The Ballads Of Peckham Rye on CD, vinyl and DDL, Ross Wilson gives FRUK an exclusive insight into his creative process and drops a couple of surprises.

M G Boulter makes a striking solo debut with The Water Or The Wave, a beautifully constructed album inspired by his Essex coastal home.
