We were rather touched with what 106JackFm wrote about us today :
Live Music – The Folk
The really rather wonderful The Folk came into JACK’s Knebworth Park Studios on Thursday 12th April, the day their debut single When It Rains was released.From Freeman College, Buntingford, Sam, Lauren, Rose and Lucy are only 16/17 and sicken us to the core with their talent and beauty and general promise in life. But, we can’t help but like them, especially when they play us a new song like Wait Forever. Enjoy!
Oh and check out The Folk at facebook.com/thefolkukand make sure you catch them live this summer!
On Friday 17th February 2012 I was lucky enough to be joined in the studio by The Folk, we chatted and they played some lovely live music!
This is what it sounded like :

This was a lovely surprise, tuning in to Three Counties Radio before we went in that evening, we heard them play ‘When It Rains’ and they were really into it
This is what they said :
“That is a great song, that’s The Folk, they are actually going to be on the BBC introducing tonight with Gary Lloyd…..hello, I’ve just run back cos that is absolutely fantastic, , beat that Little Mix !.. I think there is a good vote for that one on the Play list – can I make that my big one – can I not play that once a day ? there you go, The Folk, you’ll hear them tonight… it’s going to be a great show.” Ronnie Barbour and Gareth Lloyd
We went into the studio of BBC Three Counties Radio on 3rd Feb and had a great interview with Gareth Lloyd as part of the introducing slot on a friday.

On Thurs 12th Feb we went over to Hitchin to chat and play on air at YOR Radio.
‘We were so excited to have The Folk play live in the YOR Radio studio. It was so refreshing to meet four unique young ladies with so much talent and passion for what they do. These girls are a real inspiration to all young people in Herts. We wish them all the luck in the world and can’t wait to have them play live for us again.

WE went in to Jack 106 fm on 21st december for our first ever radio appearance ( thanks Steve !).. and played a couple of tracks live in the studio and had a chat about how we got together and stuff…here is the recording and the comment he made on air as we were driving away:
“You know when you hear a band and you think ‘there’s no reason why they shouldn’t make it ?’. I feel that way about The Folk”
And this is what he said about the single :
JACK FM 106 – about ‘When it Rains’

We were delighted to over hear Chas Hodges and Steve chat about The Folk live on air a couple of days before we went in to the studio. Thanks Guys!! This is what he said :
“The Folk, they’re great ! I saw them at the Corn Exchange a couple of months ago, they are fantastic, they are really good. Four really nice young girls and they’re really good players as well and they write their own stuff. They do a few covers too and I think they’re going places. “
