2 - Links to reviews
3 - Links to shows and concerts
4 - Try to only downvote if the dialog or the links don't contribute to the dialog or the subreddit. The neofolk scene is quite opinionated, and all opinions are welcome to be broadcasted here, so long as it helps a healthy dialog.

Hi ! Looking to listen apocalyptic, neofolk and weird folk in general live. I was initially thinking of going to Ireland in May to listen traditional folk music but I'm thinking is there any events in the UK in May-June for neofolk ?
Thanks !
I released my first ep back in december, thought i would share :)
Went to see Current 93 yesterday. Overall not bad but nothing special, I also think the first 30 minutes of experimental audio/video crap they wanted to call contemporary art was unnecessary, it completely threw people of the mood and I saw some people leaving the venue. So keep that in mind if they play in your area.

Hey there, can anyone here point out good stores in London carrying Neofolk, particularly Death In June / Current 93?
Thanks
I heard it was somewhere in London but I’ve searched far and wide for any information on this and nothing really shows up on google.
I've been searching for so long, trying to find out how Douglas makes his guitar sound the way it does in most of his songs, that "neofolk" vibe basically revolves around it. Is it a 12-string guitar? Is it some audio preset? Please help, this question was probably already answered before but I still cant find the answer!!
hi guys, i'm uygar. a 17 years old musician hailing from the pontic mountains of the northern anatolia. i'm actually a black metal musician but i started to write some neofolk stuff 2-3 months ago. now, this is the result.

my main inspirations are current93, di6, coil, sol invictus, pink floyd(hell yeah) and beyond...
i hope you guys like it. thanks!
I think I am an exception of the rule, as I discovered the genre just 2-3 years ago at the age of 50.
I always listened to Metal, Wave, Rock, Goth (also sometimes classical music and Jazz), but by chance I found Of the Wand and the moon and then my Journey into the genre began. Never heard of Neofolk before. I like Death in June, Darkwood and of course Of the Wand and the Moon.
So when (age) and how did you discover the genre?
Now I can die happy.
Hi loves, I was listening to “Old Number Seven” by The Devil Makes Three and thought the song would be a really good slow jazz song and thought of “my Drag” by Squirrel Nut Zipper’s Idk I feel the vibe
New and fresh stuff multi inspired from Rome / Death In June and Rope Sect with an awesome north african touch ... Very original

Curious to see what everyone has. I’ve got a Di6 whip hand on my arm and looking to get something that’s a bit more abstract / less belonging to a specific band.
