Folkwit Records is an independent record label based in Nottingham, UK. 

We don’t aim to appeal to the masses. In fact we could be described as somewhat leftfield. We have been described by one journalist as “downbeat” (We can live with that!) and by another as “the Midas touch label” (which we like).

The one thing we are confident of is that we have some very talented and creative artists on our roster.

Please browse our site and check out the artists pages where you will find information, pictures and sample tracks.  Feel free to contact us if you have any enquiries. 

Folkwit Records CDs are distributed by Proper Distribution

History

Folkwit Records was established in 2003 by the members of folk-roots ensemble Palava initially as a means of self-releasing new recordings.  However, it soon developed into the small independent label that it is today with a diverse roster representing music ranging from alternative folk roots and alt country through to lo-fi and experimental music.

Some of our releases our conventional in the sense that the CDs are commercially manufactured and distributed through Proper Distribution.  Others are limited edition individually home-packaged CDs/CDRs (e.g Pulco).

Over the last few years, Folkwit has worked with many artists from the UK and beyond.  We are essentially passionate about music and take great pleasure in working with equally passionate artists.
