Faces Blue (Kickstarter Version)

Ran and hosted by Brighton singer-songwriter Jacko Hooper, Folklore Sessions is all about highlighting the very best music from across the country in an intimate environment for music lovers and artists alike.
Not to be restricted by genre, Folklore has hosted bands and solo artists from rock, electronica, folk, soul and more. What ties them together is the calibre of song writing and the stripped back performances to highlight the core of their songs and the honesty within the lyrics they scribe. 
Once a month a showcase of the most recent finds is had at the home of Folklore, The White Rabbit in Brighton.

Having hosted nearly 100 different acts at the monthly sessions, as well as stages at Together The People Festival and Brighton Fringe respectively, the time has come to start releasing records of some of Folklore’s discoveries since launch back in September 2014.

Limited to just 250 copies worldwide, each record comes with reversible gatefold sleeves, inserts and one inch badges designed by the artists involved. The series of Folklore vinyl’s will culminate in late 2018 with a series comprehensive compilation, bringing together all five volumes into one deluxe package.

George Ogilvie – Out of Harm’s Way
We see George Ogilvie return with a song for Folklore that shows the depth to his songwriting abilities. With more emphasis on his vocals than ever before you see George take charge of proceedings with his signature smooth vocal from the start, building into an emotionally charged crescendo that hits you in all the right places. A brilliant and enchanting track that that leaves you well and truly under his spell.

Oktoba – Chance
Nobody can get a heartfelt message across quite like Chris Athorne, AKA Oktoba. Moving away from some of his more Americana influences to create something brooding and yet elegant. The combination of Oktoba’s lyrics and producer Ben Townsend’s production is particularly pleasing and gives us a different look into the creative workings of one of the UKs finest story tellers.

Bess Atwell - Pearl
Bess brings things back to more of her roots for this folk driven track complete with harmonica. There’s no need for elaborative production or an army of musicians, the joy of Bess’ work is how she translates emotions and melody so effortlessly, another timeless song from one of the countries most exciting up and coming songwriters.

Jacko Hooper – All I Deserve, Is Not You
The man behind Folklore brings a song of self-doubt, worry and internal debates. Not one to shy away from expressing honest, powerful and at times painful emotions through his music, Jacko turns this song from an intimate and lonely ballad into something far more powerful and substantial with the echoes of trumpets and synthesized melody lines intertwining with his vocals to end Folklore volume 1 in a dramatic and unforgiving manner

These Echoes (Two track free download from Bandcamp)

Lyrics:
Nothing feels normal, i've got no taste from the meds
Sick and turning sideways 
My guts and my thrown, i'm a mess

The world is so scary, I only live inside my head

The rest of me, see's eye to eye
But right now I can't beat it
Sitting through this sadness
Like i'm already defeated
I'm not sure this is who I am, but fuck it
It's the best that i've got now,
So for now I won't stop it 

Take a breath, it will pass
Said the one, who never knew
That this was the earth
This was still here

The world is so scary,
I'm only inside of my head
