The phenomenal Urban Folk Quartet is made up of Joe Broughton, Paloma Trigas, Frank Moon and Tom Chapman. Although only formed in 2009, already their heady mix of world influences, infectious folk and blistering beats has taken them all over Europe. The UFQ won Spain’s international folk competition on only their 4th gig together with a winning formula of sublime virtuosity and a lot of fun!

“UP THERE WITH THE BEST OF THEM…AMAZING PLAYING”
Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2

Members of the UFQ have played with some of the worlds biggest names in Folk: The Chieftains, The Albion Band and Carlos Nunez to name a few, but somehow that isn’t the point… The Urban Folk Quartet is a coming together of four of the most creative and experienced young musicians on the scene.

“I WAS ABSOLUTELY SLAIN BY A BAND I’D NEVER HEARD BEFORE: THE UFQ”
Emma Hartley, The Telegraph

Forget the Guinness book of records, Joe Broughton IS the fastest fiddle player on the planet! Tom Chapman is without doubt one of Europe’s finest percussionists (just watch him play cajón, woodblock, conga, hi-hats and sing at the same time!), Frank Moon effortlessly throws in a Django Reinhardt solo or picks up the impossibly funky Oud whilst only Paloma’s legendary smile distracts you from her mesmerising fiddle playing.

“JUST A BIT TASTY, JUST A BIT FLASHY THEN? YOU BET!”
Simon Jones, fRoots

The Urban Folk Quartet ethos is to send people away happier than when they arrive so whether you’re a fully fledged fan of real music or just looking for a good night out - this is the band for you.

96% of people who see the UFQ go to see them again.

“TRULY IMPRESSIVE”
Caroline John, Taplas
