Quinie - 'Forefowk, Mind Me' announced!


We’re so excited for you to hear Quinie's wondrous new album Forefowk, Mind Me (out May 23rd on Upset The Rhythm)! The first song from the album, ‘Macaphee Turn the Cattle’ escaped into the wild this morning, thanks to KLOF Magazine for premiering the video.

 



A singer working from the Scots song tradition, Quinie brings an approach that is both reverent and radical—exploring authenticity not as an exercise in preservation, but as something lived, questioned, and continually reshaped. ‘Forefowk, Mind Me’ is a conversation between traditions: voice and pipes, accompanied and unaccompanied, DIY and folk. It features a mix of traditional unaccompanied songs, reinterpretations, and original arrangements drawn from Scots, Gaelic, and Irish traditions, alongside toasts, improvisations, and poetic settings. Rather than static and fixed, it’s folk tradition in motion.


'Forefowk, Mind Me' can be pre-ordered as a 180g black vinyl LP w/ risograph lyric print

 
There’s also an option to order the LP with a stunning accompanying art book too!




Also… for those of you in London, we’re hosting a special launch party on May 30th at St Pancras Old Church. Tickets now on sale.
