Pavey Ark

The Mick McGarry GMB Main Stage, Saturday, 21.00 – 21.45

Pavey Ark are a cinematic indie-folk band from Hull.

Atmospheric vocals, strings and horns glide over finger-picked guitar, melodic bass and complex percussion. The result is a beautiful orchestral folk sound that evades immediate comparison.

On further listening, the band’s wide range of influences start to reveal themselves, from the laid-back 60s and 70s folk of Jackson C Frank and Rodriguez, through to Nick Drake and Radiohead.

The band have become known for their sublime live shows, playing stages at Glastonbury, Cambridge Folk Festival, Moseley Folk Festival and many more.

UNCUT Magazine “A striking Debut”

Folk Radio “Pavey Ark set themselves up as a simple folk band then pull the rug out from under your feet. It’s the perfect antidote to these uncertain days. A call to arms from a band that demands to be heard.”
