Fell and Folk, Hastings 13/09 - Hayley Savage & WOODPIG

Fell and Folk is a relaxed, intimate evening of folk / acoustic / alternative music, bringing you original music from the songwriters you need to hear about - both local and travelling from farther afield. Each event, host LAURA FELL will kick off the evening with a 30-40 minute set, followed by a 30-minute set each from two guest musicians / acts. Music will wrap up around 10/10.30pm, and drinks will then be available at the bar until 11pm!

Laura Fell's debut 2020 album, 'Safe From Me', was released to wide critical acclaim - it was given 8/10 in it's ablum review by Uncut Magazine, and RecordStore.co.uk made it no. 12 of their Top 50 Albums of 2020. After a brief break from music, Fell returned last year with introspective EP 'At Least I Tried', embariking on an evocative journey through the theme of loss, and has just released her second EP, 'Talk It All Apart', in May. She is currently working on her next record with Mercury Prize winning producer Mike Lindsay.

Fell’s talent for lyrical craftsmanship permeates every song, inviting listeners to delve beneath the surface to unearth the profound meanings within.

This edition of Fell & Folk we're lucky to have two more incredible guest acts, and both of them local talents! Hayley Savage & WOODPIG.

Hayley Savage is a folk singer and guitarist from Hastings. Musically, she blends Americana, traditional folk and indie influences to create songs of storytelling and intimacy combined with experimental flair.

Hayley has been touring her newly released album with her band and will be performing as a trio with Bonj Cranham on guitars and vocals and Lizzie Rafati on vocals.

Americana UK says ‘ Intimate and authentic…
Savage’s album is a testament to patience, honesty, and the power of time in shaping both music and meaning. - This is an album that lingers—not just in melody, but in feeling—long after the final note fades.’

Next up we'll have a full-band set from WOODPIG. Evoking a deep sense of change, loss, resilience and personal journey, WOODPIG channel the rustic charm of traditional folk with a contemporary twist. Embodying a unique fusion of acoustic warmth and atmospheric electronics, they craft narratives that resonate in both intimate and expansive sonic landscapes.

Capacity is limited, as is seating, so best to book in advance and to arrive for the start of the event to nab your table of choice, and to give all three acts a lovely audience to play to!

Our venue, The Hair and Hound, is perfect for this cozy, intimate setting, and their wonderful bar staff will be serving up standard alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks as well as cocktails.

Doors open at 7.15pm, music starts at 7.45pm. Music ends at approximately 10pm but the bar will be open until 11pm, so stick around and have a drink with us after!
