Folk Events in Birmingham

Folk music is rooted in storytelling — acoustic instruments, vocal harmonies, and songs that connect to place and tradition. The UK folk scene is alive and well, from traditional sessions in pubs to contemporary folk-rock acts filling theatres. Folk nights tend to be warm, communal, and focused on the song.
