Bio
Foxpockets is an experimental folk band from Brighton. They perform modern-day fables against a bewitching backdrop of harp, accordion, banjo, glockenspiel, spoons, penny whistle and double bass. The band formed in the summer of 2010 but its members have played together in various incarnations since 2006. -

Reviews
"Foxpockets are a unique new sound to the British folk scene, mixing unusual combinations of instrumentation and sounds to create songs that suggest they have emerged from the pages of fairytales."
-- Bright Young Folk
"There’s something magically enticing yet hauntingly disconcerting about Foxpockets’ music."
-- Folk Words
“Foxpockets write willowy melodies that are both sombre and jaunty. They are certainly one to watch out for.”
-- For Folk's Sake
"Foxpockets create a kind of faux-historical folk menagerie, as, on seven brief songs, they evoke the curious and the odd."
-- Terrascope
"Beautifully sung compositions that bounce along with a kind of medieval charm"
-- The Brighton Source Magazine
“’The Coracle & The Albatross’ is from start to finish totally enchanting.”
-- Fatea Magazine
"Well-crafted compositions with disturbingly strange lyrics and interesting arrangements"
-- A Dead Spot of Light Magazine
"This is simply music that makes one feel awfully lucky to have found it"
-- NBT Review

she told me about stars called blue squares
& orange swirls & I told her I’d never heard of them.
of course not, she said,the really important stuff
they never tell you.
You have to imagine it on your own.
got my cd today, a very fine piece it is too
sinister shanties indeed, fancy an EP swap?
Hello Foxpockets....The Hare And The Moon are very much looking forward to your forthcoming CD and will be ordering a copy from the lovely Reverb Worship as soon as we get word it has been released. x
Enjoyed your gig at Rose Hill,you battled bravely with the PA gremlins.
