Virginia Kettle's Rolling Folk

As a prolific writer of songs, Rolling Folk gives Virginia Kettle the chance to share a variety of songs not included in the Merry Hell repertoire. Offering the same level of songwriting excellence as Merry Hell, but a different, more intimate feel, as well as some additional musical explorations, the Rolling Folk project surrounds Virginia with a fabulous and interesting selection of players, in particular, multi, multi-instrumentalist Chris Lee, (Full House, Time Bandits, Family Mahone, Galleon Blast, Rad Co., etc, etc etc) and percussionist, whistle player and flautist, Mark Wooley (Ade Edmondson’s Bad Shepherds, Full House, session master and more) plus fabulous fiddle palyer Claire 'Fluff' Smith – giving breadth and depth. Delivering a fine selection of her songs, the sound is augmented by friends old and new, all sharing a level of excellence that will add both surprise and texture to her catalogue of songs.

Rolling Folk are expanding their horizons with the release of their debut album ‘East of Elsewhere’, the title being a reference to the fleeting disorientation of the travelling musician, as they struggle to locate their whereabouts on waking in a strange, yet familiar hotel room once again! The album gained fabulous media reviews and radio play and will inevitably increase both recognition and popularity of Virginia and her Rolling Folk.
