From the Margins : About

'In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.' - Phil Ochs

From the Margins covers music and ideas that offer moments of release as we traipse leaden-eyed and gadget laden towards ecological collapse.

By interview, live review and guest post the site gathers together extraordinary folk music and the odd radical thought from across Britain & Ireland.

The image rotation on the front page holds recent uploads and the best of the vault, which is where older reviews and interviews can be found.

The live listings cover a more limited area than the rest of the site - gigs in North Wales & Chester that will be worth going to even if you have to walk barefoot over sharp gravel to get to your seat. The listings have been taken down for the duration of the Covid–19 crisis.
