Goblin Band are a four-piece English traditional folk band based in London. Firmly rooted in the traditional music of England, the band shines a light on an alternative perspective on the UK’s social and political history, particularly the history of the working classes, industrialisation and colonialism.

Through a fusion of harmony singing, fiddle, squeezeboxes, hurdy gurdy and more, Goblin Band deliver a charismatic and unruly alternative expression of English traditional music both riotously joyful and deeply sincere.

Their debut EP Come Slack Your Horse! was released on 1 May 2024, and was lauded by prominent musicians like Paul McCartney and Martin Carthy. As part of a steadily rising profile, their second release and first full-length album A Loaf of Wax (Live from MOTH Club) was released on 14 November 2025.
