Lovely write up of Wyrd Britannia event at Todmorden

Black Meadow and Folklore Tapes joined forces on Saturday January 25th 2014 at Todmorden Library as part of the Wyrd Britannia festival. It was a lovely event. The place was packed (with some people having to stand at the back), whilst author Chris Lambert weaved his strange tales interspersed with facts about Black Meadow, documentary and music. The mood was spooky, Chris lit by a gel covered desk lamp on the floor, the audience sitting in rapt silence and stillness as he drew them into a world of Horsemen, Fog houses and Faustian pacts.

For an audience perspective check out this lovely entry by "A Year in the Country".

"One of the best releases we had this year" - Review of "Tales from the Black Meadow" the album. Musicblob.

Lovely article from Musicblob about the alt-folk renaissance features many great artists including...

The Soulless Party

"Even if it’s quite unexpected to find such a project on this list, the use they make of flutes, orchestral arrangements and the minor chord progressions allow this music to be considered as a branch of the recent alt-folk scenario. To be clear, the music The Soulless Party plays could be labeled as rural psychedelia, evoking landscapes full of gnomes, wizards and ghostly creatures. The background sound fields give the sensation of a wide landscape, most likely experienced at the sunset. Based on an omnipresent organ sound and celestial choirs, the recent Tales From The Black Meadow is one of the best releases we had this year, with ten marvellous compositions to state it."
