3 Daft Monkeys

3 Daft Monkeys - Sunday - Deepdale Festival | 23rd to 26th September 2021 - With Celtic and eastern influences, the 3 Daft Monkeys’ dynamic style of world folk music reflects the global village in which we now live. Their infectious dancing rhythms lead you through a musical journey of the senses and emotions, and will leave you breathless, enthralled and exhilarated. </p><p>Mark Radcliffe declared them one of his ‘highlights of the festival’ following their most recent performance at Glastonbury, and they have played sessions on the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show and for Bob Harris. </p><p>With their quirky and original approach to music, and their passion, intensity and sheer joy of life, 3 Daft Monkeys have gained themselves a large and loyal cult following. Their music is hard to pigeon-hole, mixing and crossing many musical genres from Celtic, Klezmer, Gypsy, Balkan, Latin, Ska, Dub Reggae, Indie, Rock and even a hint of Shostakovich! Come and experience the magic as they close out this year’s Festival at Deepdale.

Martin Simpson

Martin Simpson - Sunday - Deepdale Festival | 23rd to 26th September 2021 - We are incredibly pleased and lucky to be able to host Martin Simpson at Deepdale. Universally acclaimed as one of the finest ever acoustic and slide guitar players, and a fine banjo-picker to boot, his solo shows bear witness to an artist at the very top of his game. Whether interpreting material from tradition or singing his own potent self-penned songs, Martin Simpson is a remarkable storyteller: captivating and profoundly moving. His own songwriting produced the poignant ‘Never Any Good’, from Prodigal Son, 2007’s Folk Album of the Year.</p><p>Martin continues to collaborate with a dazzling array of people from across the musical spectrum: Jackson Browne, Martin Taylor, June Tabor, Richard Hawley, Bonnie Raitt, Danny Thompson, David Hidalgo, Danú, Richard Thompson and Dom Flemons are among the great musicians he has worked with.</p><p>He has had the most nominations of any performer in the 18 years of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, an astonishing 32 times, 13 of those as Musician of the Year, winning that particular accolade twice.</p><p>A virtuoso player without question, but above all Martin Simpson conveys his diverse treasure trove of material from the heart, performing with rare subtlety, intensity and honesty. A true master of his art. Simply not to be missed.

Katherine Priddy

Katherine Priddy - Saturday - Deepdale Festival | 23rd to 26th September 2021 - Chris first saw Katherine at Moseley Folk Festival three years ago, knowing then the style and quality of her music would be perfect on the Deepdale stage.

Her star is rising in the folk music world, with the launch of her acclaimed number 1 album ‘The Eternal Rocks Beneath’. </p><p>All the songs are self-penned and have a wonderful depth and maturity. The whole album is a joy, with so many stand-out tracks showcasing her haunting vocals and distinctive guitar style. About to head out on tour around the UK with Richard Thompson, we are incredibly lucky to host her at Deepdale.

Their stripped back live shows focus on the raw elements of their finely honed instrumental playing., making for an unforgettable experience.

The Goat Roper Rodeo Band

The Goat Roper Rodeo Band - Saturday - Deepdale Festival | 23rd to 26th September 2021 - With just an upright bass, two old guitars and a bucketful of aching harmony, the Goat Roper Rodeo Band are preaching ‘Cosmic Country Blues’ like you never heard…</p><p>From a lonesome shack in the North Wales hills, Jim, Tom and Sam have honed their craft on a diet of country classics and down home roots records over the past decade, culminating in their own brand of trippy yet soulful acoustic blues. It’s up, it’s down, it’s soft and loud, it’s dark and lonesome too, there’s hurt and shame and some mean old pain but there’s love in what they do!</p><p>There’s a hint of Gram, a sniff of Dylan and a twist of Waylon’s blues … Simply put, it’s exactly what it says on the tin. Currently recording their new album, they are back in the saddle with an arsenal of new material and are the perfect way to round off Saturday on our Orchard Stage.

Alden, Patterson & Dashwood
