The Nest Collective

The Nest Collective is a leading force in contemporary and cross-cultural folk music. Founded in 2005 by Mercury-nominated artist Sam Lee, the Nest Collective began as a small gathering of music and folk lovers. Today, our annual programme includes a diverse range of music events in locations across the UK, featuring outstanding emerging and established folk, world and roots artists from across the globe. Because we embrace and encourage connection with nature, many of our events take place outdoors in beautiful green spaces, both in cities and rural areas. We welcome an ever-growing community to our events in London and around the country.

Our programme includes:

• Campfire Club – fireside concerts through the summer in lovely outdoor venues in London, Brighton, Sheffield and other places around the UK
• Singing With Nightingales – our extraordinary springtime woodland events featuring avian-human duets
• Fire Choir – our community protest choir singing songs of resistance
• Ceilidh Liberation Front – a contemporary take on the Scottish dance tradition
• Magpie’s Nest Festival – our annual summer festival celebrating the very best in folk & roots music
• Nature Pilgrimages – Multi-day adventures into nature hosted by Sam Lee

In 2023 we plan to build on the success of previous years and welcome more attendees than ever to our Singing With Nightingales events in Sussex and Gloucestershire before embarking on our summer programme.

We are a small, part-time team, passionate about what we do.

The core delivery team comprises an Artistic Director, Programme Manager, Producer, Production Manager, Finance Manager and Marketing Manager.
