‘Fantastically energetic and foot-stomping super 7′ (thankfolkforthat.com). Patch & The Giant are an alternative folk band based in north London whose defining characteristics include rough-edged folk melodies, strings, brass, keys and buttons along with boots, braces and cauldrons of tea. Formed in 2011, they bring together a rich mix of home grown sounds from their many spirited members and enjoy a happy and harmonious abundance of shouting, finger-picking banjo, warbling brass, wandering strings and accordion.
