Our Fold

A group from within a group, Our Fold came together through a shared love of good music, and the lack of it within the small town of Westhoughton. Originally the collective were a musical secret, closed door rehearsals and jams. From these times the musical foundations of some of their bigger songs were laid. It was in the spring of 2005 a conscious decision was then made to form a solid 4 piece.

July '05 saw Our Fold christen the stage, in an explosive duo of performances within hours of each other. Instantly they acquired a small but dedicated “fold” following that made the journey from venue to venue with as much enthusiasm as the band themselves.
From here the band have journeyed far and wide increasing the “fold” playing with many established bands such as Art Brut, The Noisettes, Boy Kill Boy, The Paddingtons, Foals, Bromheads Jacket and The Fratellis.
This has led to the enviable achievement of not only making, but topping the NME.COM unsigned chart. This recent hype, and the hard work put in by the band themselves has help build a wider and solid live following. Last year they signed to Glaswegian label D Set Records. Earlier this year "The Fold" recruited ex Stone Roses Aziz Ibrahim on lead guitar and now with their new sound the band feels and sounds better than ever.

Their highly anticipated debut album is set for release later this year. The band recently took in appearances at Leeds, Reading and Glastonbury festivals. With the 'Picnic being their Irish debut.
