About Folkatron Sessions

Folkatron Sessions are a collective of 8 folk, jazz and electronic musicians from England, Ireland and France who bonded over a love of ‘genre-bending’ [Folk Radio UK] folk music. Their ‘unique soundscape’ [Songlines Mag] refracts trad folk through electronic, jazz, ambient, sound art and prog rock lenses.

They met in 2017 at an Upcycled Sounds experimental folk residency, spending an intense week arranging, performing and recording their debut EP Mais C’est Quoi Maman. Enthusiastic reviews from Folk Radio, Eliza Carthy and Ian Stephenson spurred them on to create their debut album Skiver in this same residency format.

In just 6 days they wrote and recorded a ‘pioneering’ [Songlines Mag] album. Its 2020 release on Upcycled Sounds Records saw Folkatron Sessions featured in Songlines Magazine, on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 2, 6 Music and Folk Radio UK.

lyrics

LYRICS

One pleasant summer's morning when flowers were a blooming
And nature was adorning and the song birds sweetly tuning
I met my love near Banbridge Town, my darling blue eyed Sally
For she is the queen of the County Down, the flower of Magherally

With admiration I did gaze on that fair maiden
And Adam ne'er so much pleased as when he saw Eve in Eden
Like Venus bright she did appear, my charming blue eyed Sally oh
I think that I am blessed when I am near, the flower of Magherally oh

And I know the day will surely come when we join hands together oh
And I'll bring my darling girl home in spite of wind or weather oh
And let them all say all that they will and let them rail and rally oh
For I shall wed the girl I love, the flower of Magherally oh
