Folk in a Box is a unique one-on-one music venue and performance space. It is a bespoke wooden box with a little front door for audience members and a little back door for performers. It can be set up anywhere. One audience member is allowed in at a time. The door is closed behind them. They are given one song, performed by one musician. It’s simple, but works like a charm.

Folk in a Box has been to all sorts of places – Tate Britain, SouthBank Centre, Venice Biennale, Battersea Arts Centre, Sydney Australia, music festivals, back streets, high streets, hill tops and front rooms.

Folk in a Box is the brain-child of award winning songwriter Emily Barker (BAFTA, RTA) and international musician / theatre maker Dom Coyote (Kneehigh, Royal Shakespeare Company). Acclaimed designer/songwriter Joel Barker joined the team to help build their global presence.
