Folklore Sessions is a Brighton & Hove based company, dedicated to highlighting the best songwriters from across the globe.

​

Created by British songwriter Jacko Hooper in 2014, Folklore began as a monthly night held in a cosy pub in the centre of Brighton to highlight some of the finest artists from across the city…

 

Having shared the stage with the likes of Bastille, James Bay, Chet Faker, James Blunt, Michael Kiwanuka, Kiefer Sutherland, Freya Ridings, Passenger, and many others, Hooper set about creating a thriving musical community that encapsulated all he loved about music.

 

Since then, Folklore has gone on to launch its own music venue - The Folklore Rooms - working with hundreds of different artists from across the globe, as well as Releasing Records and being at the centre of All things folk and indie in the South East of England, UK.

 

The Folklore Rooms, since it's launch in 2021 has hosted artists such as John Smith, Passenger, Bess Atwell, Wunderhorse, Joshua Hyslop, Jeffrey Martin, Katie Tupper, Kassi Valazza, Jamie Lawson, Great Lake Swimmers and thousands of others, with shows seven nights a week.

 

Folklore continues to enhance its reputation as one of the most important Grassroots Music Communities in the UK, hosting some of the most exciting artists around and giving them the attention they deserve.

This is music, as it should be.
