hello hello! this is our third year of running fresh blooms, and arguably our most important one yet... the year that the scene we've been growing really started to blossom 🌸
in what might have felt like a quieter year from us, we really feel as though we’ve focused in on exactly what it is we’re trying to do here. We've always prioritised spotlighting a small handful of artists we really believe in, and we're noticing that we’ve actually created a new London Folk Scene. something that’s been so needed, and driven by artists craving community in a time of digital rat races 💫
Artists, we're very much on the lookout for our next few lineups, so pop a comment if you're keen to play!! 💐
it’s probably worth keeping an eye on who else we put in the limelight over the next few months... did someone say supergroup????
okay soppiness over! thank you for the love - onto the next!! love, Ben & Christian 💐💝

SOLD OUT 🤠 18 months since our first night, @freshbloomslive is fully properly sold on its 7th edition 💐 Very grateful to the community that’s grown and that continues to show up, all the artists who have played, Q on sound, @theslaughteredlambpub for being our home, @kirsty_bryan & @blondejemima for capturing these lovely moments and, of course, @christiansayers for being a joy to work with and bringing this night to life 🫶 c u next Tuesday (24th) 🐑
beach walk with @rosanna_beth_ ✅ birthday fish ✅ guinness ✅ video message from a team i don’t support because i’m still subscribed to their marketing emails from buying tickets to a game once ✅
fresh blooms live is back on Tuesday 11th June & i can't quite believe the lineup we've managed to put together for this 💐🫠
the last gig sold out QUICK so don't wait around for tickets, on sale now - link in bio & story 💞
the stunningly soulful @hettafalzon - whose voice is nothing short of mindmelting. a real shining star for fans of Faye Webster, Norah Jones & Mitski
the incredible lyrical storyteller @annika.kilkenny - there are very few songwriters who completely stop me in my tracks and Annika consistently manages to. having supported Laufey earlier this year, she's set for absolute stardom 🌟
finally, the grunge powerhouse @samuelnicholsonmusic - i have never, ever ever, seen a performer with such drive and passion as Samuel - with tones of Wunderhorse combined with delicate Bon Iver esque vocals, this is going to be truly special 💫
get those tickets speedy!!! so beyond excited for this 😋🌸
got a tiny bit (very) emotional making this, after
Fresh Blooms Live sold out for the first time last week 🫠💐
jemima went round after the gig & asked members of this wonderful community what they love about fresh blooms live & this is just a few of their responses 💞
to see the community that’s growing around this beautiful event that @benwinterben & I work immensely hard on is SO heartwarming & the tangible difference it’s making for the artists that play is truly the best possible outcome 💫🌸
this community is only going to continue to grow, so pop a comment if you want to get involved 💐
thank you to the incredible @blairdaviemusic@lilyagnesmusic & @alexapolline for putting on such stunning performances, forever in awe of you three 😵💫
