 n\nSEPTEMBER 20TH LINE UP:\n\nMADDIE MORRIS\n\nJoin BBC Radio 2 Young Folk
  Award winner Maddie Morris\, described by Jim Moray as "leading the next 
 generation of socially conscious songwriters" on their autumn tour for an 
 intimate and thought-provoking live experience.\n\nMaddie's music explores
  how personal narratives in song can hold deep political importance. Folk 
 songs have always told stories\, but Maddie makes their mark by turning st
 orytelling into action\, creating work that is both deeply personal and qu
 ietly transformative.\n\nIn this new show\, Maddie invites you on a journe
 y through stories of their life\, while opening space for you to explore y
 our own. Blending folk traditions and protest song with their perspective 
 as a queer autistic person\, this show examines identity\, gender\, disabi
 lity\, survival\, and joy in community with warmth\, humour\, and honesty.
 \n\nThis is more than a gig. Through optional interactive zines filled wit
 h playful doodles and reflective prompts\, audience members can engage wit
 h the themes in their own way\, contributing (if they wish) to a larger co
 llaborative piece.\n\nA hopeful and generous storyteller\, Maddie creates 
 a welcoming and inclusive space for all\, rooted in connection\, creativit
 y\, and community for all and especially for those who don't feel at home 
 in traditional live music settings.\n\n"Leading the next generation of soc
 ially conscious songwriters." - Jim Moray\n\nRYKENER\n\nLA'L TETHERA\n\nBa
 sed in the rainy Lakeland Fells\, Georgie Rix\, Ada Wood and Leo Rix (viol
 a\, fiddle and accordion) combine broad\, textural arrangements with close
  vocal harmony\, to create a tight and intentional sound\, full of groove\
 , grit and lilt. They bring a deep-rooted knowledge of English folk to a g
 lobally inspired repertoire. Blowing you away with their unmistakable soun
 d yet making you feel like you're around the kitchen table with them all a
 t the same time.\n\nHaving independently learnt their craft in pubs and co
 mmunity projects\, La'l Tethera developed their collective sound busking\,
  before earning local acclaim playing festivals and events. They have sinc
 e taken the opportunity to learn from respected teachers including\, Jo Fr
 eya\, Bryony Griffith\, Carolyn Francis and Marie Fielding. Both Georgie a
 nd Ada currently study degrees in traditional music\, at Leeds Conservatoi
 re and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland respectively.\n\nTheir creativi
 ty and skill have earned them places on national and international project
 s\, enabling the three to place their distinctive sound within a contempor
 ary social context. Their close-knit friendship shines through their playi
 ng accentuating repertoire which both remembers the past and looks to the 
 future.\n\nAbout The Wild Moon Folk Collective:\n\nWild Moon Folk Collecti
 ve are a rallying point for the experimental\, trad-\, and alt-folk scene 
 in Leeds and beyond. We are musicians\, artists\, communicators and produc
 ers with a drive to make powerful\, beautiful and arresting folk experienc
 es. We meet regularly to share ideas\, push the form and create art that w
 e might struggle to achieve on our own.\n\nThe collective functions as a s
 upport network for artists as they build their careers. It is a space to g
 et advice\, sound out ideas and share best practice. It is also a space to
  foster new ideas and collaborations. We pool our skills\, so artists can 
 share these to enrich our creative output and make promotion more effectiv
 e.\n\nThe group aims to be a beacon for progressive folk in the region. Wh
 ere it serves\, the collective can operate as a label to amplify the reach
  of creative projects\, or provide behind the scenes support by matching a
 rtists with others from across disciplines who share their passion. We als
 o work together to produce touchpoint projects with wide reach\, such as c
 oncerts\, events\, installations and recordings.\n\nDetails and tickets: h
