About

Enjoy an evening of LGBTQ+ folk artists at Exeter Library, featuring a fantastic set from George Sansome & Sophie Crawford, with support TBA

George Sansome and Sophie Crawfordare the founders of Queer Folk an organisation that researches queer music and champions LGBTQIA+ musicians. After discovering a rich seam of LGBTQIA+ folk songs in the archives, they began performing this powerful repertoire together, breathing new life into long-hidden stories. Accompanied by guitar, bouzouki and accordion, they now take these songs on tour to celebrate the release of their new album.

Sophies album Silver Pin was Mainly Norfolk's album of the year in 2018, and she also plays with Patrick Wolf in his Kinfolk band. Georges debut solo album was one of Songlines magazines Essential 10 Folk Albums of 2020 and he also plays with BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award nominees Granny's Attic, and in a duo with Matt Quinn.

Together, Sophie and George are bringing queer folk music to audiences far and wide - celebrating and sharing this vibrant musical heritage.
