Stepping into London's Islington Assembly Hall on September 23rd was like walking through a portal to three different eras of folk music. This spectacular triple bill, headlined by German pagan-folk ensemble Faun, was a masterclass in musical versatility. The night offered something for every soul, supported by the rowdy sea shanties of Ye Banished Privateers and the intimate, sharp acoustics of Janice Burns & Jon Doran. From pointed political protest to chaotic pirate spectacle and finally, to ethereal, collective magic, the evening proved that the power of ancient instruments and timeless stories is as vibrant and essential as ever.

Renowned pagan folk band FAUN have unveiled their latest album, Hex, out now via Pagan Folk Records. With this release, FAUN return to their musical origins — weaving mystical, archaic folk sounds with enchanting ballads that guide listeners on a captivating journey through the ancient realms of female magic and pagan mythology.

Pagan folk storytellers FAUN have returned with a spellbinding new single and music video, ‘Nimue’, a poetic ode to the mysterious figure from Arthurian legend known as The Lady of the Lake. The track is the latest offering from their upcoming album, Hex, set for release on 5 September via Pagan Folk Records.
