Thimble at The Folklore Rooms

Thimble are returning to the stage for their second headline show this coming March 23rd at The Folklore Rooms. After their debut at The Rosehill Tavern reached capacity, the band is bringing their blend of jazzy psychedelia and eastern folk to this new venue. The group is formed by musicians from various creative projects across Brighton, and their approach involves pulling influences from different corners of life to fuse multiple genres. It is a distinct sound that has been developing since their initial performances in the city.

The lineup for the evening includes two support acts that offer a range of styles. Rhiannon Ruthven is scheduled to perform, bringing a progressive folk approach that combines intricate melancholy with spoken word elements. Her set is followed by Máidin, a folk rock project led by Jessica James. The music here centres on traditional Irish fingerpicking melodies, which are then layered with heavier, anthemic ballads. The project has been noted for drawing inspiration from artists such as Black Country, New Road and Jeff Buckley, providing a contrast to the rest of the evening’s programme.

The Folklore Rooms provides the setting for these three performances, and the event serves as a look at how these specific musical styles interact within the local scene. For those interested in the logistics, tickets and detailed timings for the night are available online. It is a straightforward evening of live music that highlights the work of these three acts, and it offers a chance to see how Thimble’s sound has evolved since their first headline appearance. Whether you are familiar with the individual projects or just looking to see what is happening in Brighton this Sunday, the event is set up to showcase a variety of folk-influenced sounds in a single space.
