Folk in the Foyer: Mice in a Matchbox and The Lost Notes

Mice in a Matchbox have taken their music twice round the Atlantic in a small sailing boat to such far flung places as Portugal and the West Indies!

They are Sally Stamford and Jim Rolt; a lively duo who take traditional and modern folk tunes and some classic well known favourites, as well as original material, and deliver them with their own foot tapping (stamping?) harmony arrangements.

Coming from differing musical backgrounds they bring a new approach to roots and folk music. Sally's beautiful voice accompanied by Jim's harmony vocals and powerful guitar backing make a refreshing and exciting performance

The Lost Notes As heard on BBC Introducing, The Lost Notes are an Original Acoustic Roots band from Moseley who write songs about things that matter. Like the perils of one-night stands and plastic surgery, the plight of bankers, greaseballs, snakes, Greco-Roman health and safety failings, mules, mermaids and the downright miserable. Formed in 2014 they have been "taking the folk world by storm!" (Folk For Folk's Sake Radio) with their energetic and entertaining live shows.

Their music “fits in amongst peers like… Fleet Foxes, …Fairport Convention… and Crosby Stills Nash and Young" (Rocking Magpie). All delivered in glorious 3-part harmony.
