Sandy Denny — we worked along side of our folk music PR clients

“Whenever we draft our budgets for our new projects we do not have to think twice about including Prescription PR. Jay, James, Ellie and Chris continue to deliver regardless of the diversity of the releases we put their way, they are totally reliable and their reporting is top notch. ”
— Proper Records

A wide range of folk music PR projects

Folk music is all about its history, and we have been lucky enough to work on releases from some of the greatest artists to emerge from the genre.

These include records from John Martyn and Nic Jones; we’ve also worked alongside the estates of Nick Drake, Sandy Denny and most recently Bert Jansch to bring new and exciting collections to the attention of the press. 

We’ve also charted a number of Top 10 and Top 20 albums with the likes of Seth Lakeman, Bellowhead and Richard Thompson.

However, we’re just as focussed however on the contemporary artists who are pushing the genre in new and exciting directions.

We’ve helped The Unthanks, I’m With Her, Stick In The Wheel, Lisa Knapp, and most recently You Are Wolf (Guardian Top 10 Folk Albums / fRoots Magazine’s Editor’s Choice Album of The Year) release award-winning material – a great many of these securing coveted BBC Folk Awards recognition.

In addition, we’ve also provided digital publicity services to the world-famous Cambridge Folk Festival, its sister festival The City Roots, and the ever-expanding Kate Rusby-curated event Underneath The Stars.  

We focus not only on UK coverage, but target folk and roots sites and blogs all across Europe; the breadth of our contacts within these areas is unsurpassed. 

Get in touch today. We’d love to hear what you’re working on.
