Brown Wimpenny (Album Launch)
Moth Club, E9 6NU , [Venue Details]It is fitting that Brown Wimpenny, a folk collective who mine the transcendent collective power of traditional music to the deepest extent possible, should have emerged from the most informal - and social - of places.
One Sunday in the spring of 2023, sisters Anna and Jess Korbel, tenor banjoist Seth Lockwood and mandolin player Archie Barker, met up in Lockwood's south Manchester living room to explore a collective budding interest in folk music. Then, the Sunday after that, they met again – and once more the Sunday after that, attendance growing gradually each time. Before long it had sprawled into a weekly 25-strong get together and shared meal – as much a jam session as it was a chance to eat, drink, relax and catch up together at the end of the working week.
The music they played was sprawling too – like all the best sessions. It was expansive, chaotic and constantly shifting, and unlike a regular jam in more ways than one. By taking traditional songs as their starting point, which have no true owners other than humanity itself, there was genuine creative decentralisation, “a true common understanding,” as banjoist Luke Morris puts it.
