Evolution of Fishermen presents 'Christmas at the Old Church'

Evolution of Fishermen’s first-ever Christmas gig; a night of folk, carols and good company.

Evolution of Fishermen bring an evening of folk music to Stoke Newington Old Church for their first ever Christmas gig.

The six-piece contemporary folk band, inspired by old stories and modern life, are bringing together original songs, traditional folk and festive carols.

The band have built a following across London's folk scene and beyond, playing festivals including Wilderness, Deershed and Medicine Festival, and opening for Richard Thompson at Gate to Southwell. Their debut EP, Days Like These, launched with a sold-out concert at St Bartholomew the Great. Hailed as a "a brilliant, brilliant band.” by Lee Blakemen (BBC Stoke) and "not one to be missed, if you love your folk" by Jericho Keys (BBC York).

The band also created The Circle, a collaborative concert series where they act as a house band for guest artists at Paper Dress Vintage, being praised as “an intimate moment of bonding between the musicians and the crowd through the power of shared music and stories” by the venue.

Come along for an evening of folk, carols and good company.
