The songs Phil and Sarah sing are mainly traditional, learned from versions by folk legends like Shirley Collins, Bob Copper, Martin Carthy and Peggy Seeger. Their instrumental music (guitar, banjo and ukulele) also feels steeped in tradition. It is minimal, but exudes heart and passion.

written and performed by Declan Duffy Youre born in one country. But your parents come from a different one. So what does that make you? And what if the two countries in question share a profound and complex history, one of conquest and subjugation, of resistance and rebellion? But which happen to be closest neighbours across the Irish Sea, and have grown to a mutual understanding, and (a sometimes uneasy) co-existence? Where do you find your identity? How do you define yourself? Are you British? Or are you Irish? Or dont you know? Join Declan Duffy as he attempts to make some good sense out of it all. Hell consider the history of Irish migration to Britain, the difficulties encountered by the people who made that journey, and how all of it has influenced us, their descendants, in our consideration of who we are, what we are. Press for this production Hilarious, informative and thought-provoking. Totally relatable to second- and third-generation Irish. The Irish World This powerful, funny and moving show dives into migration, identity and the complex ties between Britain and Ireland.

Self-releasing eight albums in sixteen years and touring relentlessly around the world, Crywank have built a reputation for scrappy lo-fi recordings and chaotic, genre-bending live shows. Crywank was formed by songwriter Jay Clayton in 2009, on the same day they first picked up a guitar. Even though they did not yet know how to play or record their early music properly, it gained far more attention online than expected and soon became a serious musical endeavour. Eventually joined by percussionist Dan Watson (Bombstrap, Denim & Leather, ex-Gnod) and bass player Jules Noel (Guard Petal, ex-Chastity), Crywank moved from simple outsider-folk to more complex and bizarre compositions, while maintaining a commitment to exploring sadness in an often blunt and humorous way.

The Fox is thrilled to welcome back Transmission on Thursday 12th February. Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live Joy Division gig, Transmission emulate the sound of one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era. Joy Division were formed in the late 1970s and dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members went on to form New Order and have achieved much critical and commercial success. The influence of Joy Division, however, was far reaching and they were considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Forty years on you can still relive the dark, cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission, the UK’s premier band playing homage to their music. Check out the band here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydvX3ngsR2E "Unlike many tribute bands who make great efforts to look like clones of the band they cover, Transmission concentrate solely on the sound and musical ability of Joy Division, and they pull it off perfectly.” "They're so faithful to the actual songs it's unreal. Even ones like Atmosphere which you think wouldn't work well live, they have the crowd going wild for." "I go to Sub 89, Reading regularly and have seen Sham 69, UK Subs and The Damned amongst others and can safely say Transmission's performance was as good as any I've seen. there." Presented by The Fox & Firkin. This is an 18+ event
