Spawned from a long discussion about house music between Stephen Cracknell of The Memory Band and filmmaker Kieran Evans, The Balaeric Folk Orchestra turned into a full-fledged group with a fluctuating array of talented musicians and vocalists in 2011.

The results are surprisingly lovely and have won the group a deserved amount of buzz.
