Junior Brother brings Irish Folk to Chelmsford
Carefully pushing the boundaries of what modern Irish folk can look and sound like, JUNIOR BROTHER is an idiosyncratic, challenging, and richly lyrical singer/songwriter from Co. Kerry.
His much anticipated third album, The End is officially out now, via Strap Originals. Following singles Take Guilt, Small Violence Welcome To My Mountain and A Lot of Love, this album is set to be a defining release for Junior Brother
ARMOURED MAN are a multi-instrumental folk duo from Essex. Lyrically-driven, intricate, muscular, and rooted in the natural world, their sound combines folk story telling with the nervy energy of post-hardcore.
Hind Legs, their second full-length album - mastered by Frank Turner - was released in December 2025. It explores climate breakdown, geological time, faith, fatherhood and a deeply uncertain future.
Chelmsford's grassroots music venue. Keeping independent music alive.
