Folk in a Box is a unique one -on-one music venue and performance space. It is a bespoke wooden box with a little front door for audience members and a little back door for performers. (The back door also doubles up as a whisky bar!) It can be set up anywhere.
One audience member is allowed in at a time. The door is closed behind them. They are given one song, performed by one musician. It’s simple, but works like a charm.
Folk in a Box has been to all sorts of places – Tate Britain, SouthBank Centre, BAC, music festivals, back streets, high streets, hill tops and front rooms. And now we’re planning an epic month long journey across Britain from Land’s End in Cornwall to John O’ Groats in Scotland. You might see our little wooden box cropping up on a street near you soon!
I love this idea, it’s excellent. I hope I get to be an audience member this year. Please let me know about gigs in London. Also I host occasional events as well as ongoing openmic nights and would like to know costs for having folkinabox at my events.

Hi,
Folk In A Box is brilliant…
I saw you guys at the OneTaste festival at The Bedford and was thoroughly intrigued.
Can’t wait to experience it again.

Great idea!
it is the best way to fight against capitalism: people must be near to really communicate, to really understand what is “the other”;it sounds against anonymity against whom we are thrown.
