Norfolk’s Punkfolkers are back. London-Irish punk-folk man Anto Morra and three old punks from East Anglia’s STAIN! have put out “Punkfolk”, the opening track of their long-awaited album Night Bus To Tombland, due in April 2027 to mark 50 years since The Clash’s debut.

The live video landed on 22 October, 50 years to the day after The Damned’s “New Rose”, filmed at Folk In A Field festival in West Acre, Norfolk, on Anto’s three old smartphones. It kicks off with the trad Irish reel “The Gravel Walks”, then tears into a protest song stuffed with lines nicked from punk classics.

Ten songs, no streaming, no tour: just a very limited CD and vinyl run, every copy in its own one-off upcycled sleeve, a few East Anglian gigs around release, and Folk In A Field again on 2 July. Gloriously DIY.
