British folk artist Jim Ghedi impresses with his masterful guitar work, dramatic (and powerful) vocal delivery, and the way he injects an experimental spirit into traditional forms.

Jim Ghedi | the PROPAGANDA site

Jim Ghedi is a folk artist, singer, and songwriter from Sheffield, England, who infuses the traditional sound of British folk with contemporary musical elements, not the least of which is his use of drone and atmospherics. There is also a strong presence of Irish folk in his work, and an occasional nod at classical chamber orchestration. He is a remarkable guitarist and an intense performer as a vocalist. His songs are elegiac and dramatic, often referencing a sense of loss in some way. Increasingly, they also have a sharper electric edge, and a more percussive feel overall. This is in contrast with his earlier work, which was more comfortable in the conventional folk instrumentation.

Our #SongoftheDay is "Hester", a song by Sheffield based artist Jim Ghedi, who injects contemporary drone elements into the traditional folk sound with a high level of intensity for a startling effect.

Some music that I am rather fond of. I got to see #JimGhedi play with the band in Sheffield this year at a live music bar #Greystones and had not heard of #CinderWell before. They often play in Ireland sometimes on separate billings and I honestly hope more people get to see either of them live since I found them absolutely spellbinding. https://youtu.be/pFgtU7l00H8
