self to notes presents:The Urban Folk Quartet

The Urban Folk Quartet

From the heady mix of traditional tunes of England and Spain to the
vibrant fusion rhythms of the Birmingham scene come The Urban Folk Quartet.

The band consists of demon fiddle players Joe Broughton (Albion Band,
Feast of Fiddles) and Paloma Trigas (Carlos Nunez) with the
irrepressible multi instrumentalist Frank Moon and storming rhythms from
Tom Chapman.

Having been discovered in their teens by legendary artists The Albion
band and Carlos Nunez respectively, Joe and Paloma’s careers have in
many ways taken parallel paths both gaining much experience touring the
world. In 2004 they performed their first fiddle duet together to great
acclaim and so the seeds for The Urban Folk Quartet were born.

Joe and Frank met at The Birmingham Conservatoire School of Music and
realised they had a lot of common musical interests. Doubtless their
conversations about folk and world music led to foundations of the
quartets sound. Finding Tom experimenting with a Cajon based drum set up
that provided the full percussion sound that fitted perfectly with the
concept of the band, The Urban Folk Quartet was born.
