‘We have seen The Salts performing live and can honestly say that you will not be able to stop yourself dancing. They are brilliant!’ Launceston Folk Club.

The Salts are one of the most exciting and energetic folk bands in the UK today, blending well-crafted original compositions with their unique interpretations of traditional songs. Fronted by BBC Dragon’s Den contestant Lee Collinson, this talented five-piece band creates an infectious energy with their mix of instruments, dynamic harmonies, and vibrant stage presence.

Described as “21st-century folk firing a respectful broadside at the traditional,” The Salts have carved out a distinctive sound that guarantees to get audiences singing and dancing along. Their debut album She Rises, followed by BRAVE and the latest live release LIVE IN LONDON TOWN, have all received critical acclaim. As Mike Harding of The Mike Harding Folk Show puts it, their music is “incredibly gutsy stuff with a big sound.”

Having wowed crowds at events such as Costa del Folk 2022, where BBC’s Tim Walker called them “outstandingly brilliant,” The Salts continue to bring their high-energy performances to venues across the country.

Catch The Salts live at Launceston Folk Club on Sunday, 16th February, at the Firebrand Taproom. Doors open at 7 pm—don’t miss this electrifying night of folk music!
