Jim Ghedi Plus Toria Wooff

? Jim Ghedi hails from Sheffield, South Yorkshire and although clearly well versed in the history of folk music, he stands out as a potential torch bearer for a new generation of respectful yet experimental performers.? Ghedi?s acclaimed new album ?Wasteland? (2025) sees his music develop away from previous records ?A Hymn for Ancient Land? (2018) & ?In the Furrows of Common Place? (2021). Released on the Basin Rock record label, his sound emulates a more brooding, dark and electronic world which is mirrored in his piercing lyrics and singing. He draws from social observations, contemporary songwriting, historical & traditional material. This year, Ghedi will also release his first film soundtrack for A24?s thriller The Death of Robin Hood, after being approached by director Michael Sarnoski. A dark adaptation of the 17th-century folk-tale Robin Hood's Death, the film is out in June 2026, and stars Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsg?rd and more. Over the years, Ghedi has performed headline tours and festivals across the UK, Ireland and Europe, as well as supporting & touring with bands such as Lankum, Stick in the Wheel, Richard Dawson, Martin Carthy, Shirley Collins.? He has also released collaborative duo records with Welsh guitarist Toby Hay released on Topic Records (2023). Praise for Wasteland: "brilliantly apocalyptic."
