Folk Phenomena is a website dedicated to all things folk; be it folk music, festivals, theatre, storytelling or lore.

My aim is to listen to, feel and explore this (and other genres) for it's sensory impact.

I accept submissions (electronic or physical) and will also give time to unsigned and people on the start of their musical journey too.

I also specialise in Social Media publicity at festivals using Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and recently live streaming to let the world know what you are doing.

I am also self-employed so if you have a specific task be it writing or promotion then please get in touch to discuss further, I would be glad to help.

Other than that, enjoy yourself, and any questions/feedback, just let me know!
