Filkin's Drift

Gloucester

Dates: 12/04/2025

Venue: The Folk of Gloucester, 99-103 Westgate Street

Filkin's Drift reimagine traditional melodies through pizzicato grooves, intricate guitar tunes, and boundless improvisation. Their 2023 foot-powered tour of the Wales Coast Path, described by BBC 6 Music's Cerys Matthews as "committed and fascinating," saw them walk 870 miles while performing 53 gigs in 58 days.

Born from this epic journey, their debut album Glan combines tunes that were collected on the walk, new compositions inspired by the impressive landscapes, and music from their home traditions (Wales and Gloucestershire). The title loosely translates from Cymraeg as shore, or being close to a body of water.

Doors open at 7pm for a 7:30 start. The cafe and bar will be open for the duration of the event.
