Johnny Campbell emerged onto the UK folk scene writing self-penned material and delving deep into Northern English folk song and story.
The album From Hull & Halifax & Hell (2020) took him to The Faroe Islands where he recorded a live album on the island of Nolsoy. Since musical instruments hadn’t arrived on the islands until the 19th century, this is perhaps the first time Northern English traditional song has been recorded on these islands. This album earned him album of the week with Blues and Roots radioand reviews with British folk press:
”A Modern-Day Billy Bragg” – Tradfolk
”The spirit of the folk clubs in their heyday runs in his veins” Folking.com
”I defy anyone not to be galvanised by the total integrity of his exceptional rendition of (Ewan MacColl’s) Moving On Song” The Living Tradition
”A truly entertaining work. Lose yourself in the true folk experience.” Fatea Magazine
