Frankie Archer

Knockengorroch 2024 Artist - Frankie Archer

We are so excited to be welcoming Frankie Archer to the stage for her first time at Knockengorroch Festival!

Frankie Archer is fresh on the scene and shaking up genres and traditions, sharing the lesser told sides of stories, championing women, challenging perspectives and calling for a fairer future, all to a unique mix of synths, manipulated samples, drum tracks and earthy fiddle and voice.

Her imaginative and bold mash of electro alt-trad shows her Northumbrian fiddle roots, her deep love of electronic music and her immersion in soulful folk songs from the North East of England and around the world. Her unique, fresh sound has pricked up the ears of fans and press and her music has been played on BBC Radio 2, 3 and 6 Music, with a recent performance on Later… with Jools Holland.

To have such an exciting and innovative musician in these hills is exciting to say the least! Don’t miss it!

“Stills the breath in the room” – Gavin McNamara, Bristol 24/7

“Extraordinary” – Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music

“Gorgeous trad playing and creative vocal twists… a fascinating and intoxicating blend of the contemporary and the traditional” – Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2

🍂 Samhain Blessings to All! 🍂 As the golden hues of autumn settle over Knockengorroch, we pause to honour Samhain—the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the Celtic new year. Our swallows have taken flight for their long journey south, and the land here is quietly preparing itself for the magic of next year’s festival. Preparations are in full swing, and the land is regenerating. 🌿 Super Advanced tickets are still available, so secure yours and join us in the hills next May: www.knockengorroch.org.uk/tickets/ See you under the stars! 🌌📷 ReCompose ...
