MFF26: GOOD HABITS & CLUB DÉBRIS – FESTIVAL CLUB FRIDAY

See three of the best emerging English folk acts in Band On The Wall, the vibrant hub venue of Manchester Folk Festival. This event is a bustling club environment and a great way to end your night at Manchester Folk Festival.

The event runs from 11pm – 1am. Due to the late nature of the event the age restriction is 18+.

Club Débris

Club Débris are a Quebec-inspired folk band based in London, playing high-energy French-Canadian trad music in brazenly major keys. The band formed as a celebration of the close ties between the trad music that the band members grew up with and the joyous Québécois tunes that they’d gravitated towards over the years, especially through playing together in the vibrant London session scene. Their sound, rooted in centuries of mixed influences between French, English, Scottish and Irish dance music, brings together fiddles, accordion, banjo and piano, accompanied by driving, galloping foot percussion rhythms, featuring a percussive dancer who genuinely lights up the stage. Over the past couple of years, Club Débris have performed at festivals including Shrewsbury, Broadstairs and Fire in the Mountain, as well as releasing their debut album Ricochet.

Good Habits

Good Habits are a dynamic Indie-folk band with a knack for turning existential musings into bursts of relentless optimism. With vocals, cello, accordion, synths and drums at their core, they carve out a sound that’s virtuosic, cinematic and unapologetically fun – a blend of folk-ish storytelling, groove-driven energy and existential optimism.
