We want to give beginners a chance to take up a folk instrument, as well as to provide the best for those who already play.
A Commitment to Traditional Music
We aim to encourage more people to discover and enjoy English, Irish, Scottish & Welsh traditional music, as well as all the many other types of folk music now played these islands
Everyone at Hobgoblin is involved in folk music; most of us are regularly gigging musicians. We provide employment to a growing number of folk musicians, makers and repairers, we support many live music events across the country and our record label gives an outlet to some of the best new folk and acoustic talent.
Making Real Music
We help keep music live, by making real acoustic instruments widely available at affordable prices, and financially supporting live events.
We always encourage people to make music themselves, by taking up a musical instrument. You are never too young or too old to start!
