New Year Orchestra
Worldwide Welshman's soundtrack to the end of civilization
OUT NOW!

To celebrate the start of the new decade, I returned to Folk Marathon which this year took place in one of my favourite cities, Ghent. To make it extra special, I put together a band over twenty musicians from all over Europe for the New Year's Eve slot.
We dream of a world without borders!
Watch: Beard & a Poncho live in Ghent..
We are delighted to announce the release of Worldwide Welshman's second album, New Year Orchestra, recorded live in Belgium at the turn of the decade with the largest Worldwide Welshman band yet - an epic amalgamation of the Ghent & Tubingen lineups, the improvised string section, members of London's Flotsam collective, most of the Red Transit Van gang from last year's trip to Porto, and invited & uninvited-but-welcome stage invaders. CLICK HERE TO WATCH MORE VIDEOS FROM THE SHOW

I hope this will give you a little flavour of the amazing New Year's Eve party that the Folk Marathon Ghent team put together back at the dawn of the decade, in those innocent, pre-lockdown times when people from all around the world used to get together and hug each other, unknowingly spreading what turned out to be a deadly virus... and in the days just before the bizarre and somewhat unfortunate occurrence that lead to increased political separation between our Not-So-United Kingdom and our mainland partners.
Its a truly international affair, performed in Gent with a pan-European jam-band during an international folk festival, and produced in Germany by the patient and talented Max Christensen Music.

I hope you will find it both enertaining and relevant.

Enjoy!
