Immensely privileged to have The Rheingan Sisters launch their new album 'Start Close' with us at the weekend and play an exilerating set on stage. We wish them every success with the new album which @guardianmusic describes as 'admirably confrontational'. @RowanRheingans

We were treated to music and storytelling from Suntou Susso on Sunday at Allen Valleys Folk Fest. Suntou, a Griot of the Gambia, brought his kora and tradition of storytelling through song that sounded like liquid velvet as it wafted over the audience.

When @JohnnyFlynnHQ comes to @AllenValleyFolk and buys a copy of your book. Well, with Flynn in the title, he had to, really. Hope you enjoy it Johnny! If you know any film/TV producers our Molly McFlynn would love to be on screen. #shybairnsgetnowt.

Well, that's a wrap on Allen Valleys Folk Fest for another year! What a belta it was... Huge thanks to all who made it happen. The burning of the wolf in the square was the best yet, so say some of our followers! Jonah, Bill & Ashley did us proud! 🔥
