Jim Ghedi
The Spiel
Sidney & Matilda Presents: Jim Ghedi Jim Ghedi hails from Sheffield, South Yorkshire and although clearly well versed in the history of folk music, he stands out as a potential torch bearer for a new generation of respectful yet experimental performers. His album ‘Wasteland’, released in March 2025, saw wide acclaim and was recognised as a profoundly bold sonic statement that is some of the most rich, far-reaching and ambitious work in the Folk genre - pushing the boundaries of what folk music can be. His third album released on the Basin Rock record label, this new sound emulates a more brooding, darker and electronic world which is mirrored in his piercing lyrics and singing. He draws from social observations, contemporary songwriting, historical & traditional material. This year, Ghedi will also release his first film soundtrack for A24’s thriller The Death of Robin Hood, after being approached by director Michael Sarnoski. A dark adaptation of the 17th-century folk-tale Robin Hood's Death, the film is out in June 2026, and stars Hugh Jackman, Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård and more. Over the years, Ghedi has performed headline tours and festivals across the UK, Ireland and Europe, as well as supporting & touring with bands such as Lankum, Stick in the Wheel, Richard Dawson, Martin Carthy, Shirley Collins. £15 ADV Doors- 7:30pm
