I book and record sessions for the music blog For Folk’s Sake.
I take pitches either directly from artists or via agent by email at duncan@forfolkssake.com. Please put “SESSION” in the title to make it easy to find amongst all my bulk PR email. If I don’t reply within a week give me a nudge.
Please provide some example music and an idea of when you’d ideally like to record or publish. Please note there can be gap of several weeks between recording and first publication.
There is no charge for these recordings.
Booking priorities
Anything in the (broad) musical scope of the site is fine. That includes: traditional, contemporary or alt folk, singer-songwriters, roots & country. Or music that contains elements of those things.
Format
The default is to publish a single song.
Normally, we’d record at least two songs and I’ll provide rush mixes of all. You can then choose which performance bests represent you, and that will get the full video edit.
Depending on my workload, I may be able to fully edit and publish an additional song. If this isn’t possible, I can provide a very simple video of the spare song for your own use.
Publishing
Each session will appear on the main site, YouTube and as Facebook native video.
Location
I can record 1–3 musicians sessions in small studio in South East London. Recording on-location is possible, if you have somewhere suitable.
