Stornoway, The Young'uns, Daisy Chute + More

Moseley Folk & Arts Festival are proud to present Stornoway, The Young'uns and Daisy Chute as the first announced acts on our takeover lineup. 

Never been to a Moseley Folk takeover before? You're in for a treat. Doors open early at 4pm, with music starting shortly after. We are bringing you a full day of music, with a stacked lineup, spanning the best of folk, roots and indie music on the scene. Stornoway will close the night in our headline slot at 9pm, with support from The Young Uns (and even more to be announced!). 

Our last takeover, featuring Midlake, Jane Weaver, The Leisure Society, The Brethren, Ollie Cook & The Hogwash, was a sold out affair, so don't wait to secure your tickets. 

Stornoway

Forming at Oxford University, Stornoway are a band who run on curiosity. Producing their own records, they take a bespoke approach to each track. With a wonderfully diverse range of instrumentation and an unmistakable joy in the creative process, every one of their songs is given a very beautiful and carefully considered place to live -- musically and geographically, with recording locations including campervans, wind-buffeted barns, chapels and community centres.

The Young'uns

One night in Stockton On Tees, three teenagers heard strange sounds coming from the backroom of a pub. They went in. They heard people singing songs they'd never heard before. Songs without instruments. Songs in their own accents. Songs about places they knew. Folk songs. They joined in. Because they were the youngest ones there by several decades, they were soon labelled 'the Young'uns.' More than 20 years on and they've carried their unfortunate name around the world, from Sidney to Vancouver, from Radio Tees to Radio 4, won 3 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and gained a reputation for singing life affirming songs of social conscience in immaculate 3 part harmony.

Daisy Chute

Daisy Chute has found a loyal following through her Grammy award-winning songwriting and jaw-dropping vocals. Selling out shows internationally at arts venues/festivals like Glastonbury, Daisy and her original folk/americana music and singing feature on Radio/TV/Film/Game soundtracks, and she is co-writer for a new musical about witches 'Coven' which premiered to sold out London audiences in 2025/26.

Age restriction: 14+ with adult, 18 without.
