Formed in 2019, Cornish Celtic folk punk rockers, ALL FOR JOLLY, hail from the
rugged coastal town of Penzance, Cornwall, UK. The live-wired quintet have
been turning heads and making new friends for their infectious sound that
merges foot-stomping folk with a buoyant punky edge.
Already creating a strong reputation for their animated live performances, the
eclectic alternative crew have toured throughout the UK and Europe on
numerous occasions, and to date, the band have graced stages at a number of
prominent festivals such as: Glastonbury, Boomtown Fair, Boardmasters,
Bearded Theory, Lindisfarne Festival and Festival Medieval (Germany). ALL FOR
JOLLY have also played alongside everyone from Rumjacks, Subhumans, and
Ferocious Dog to Fisherman’s Friends. The band’s performances are becoming
renowned for bursting with heart, vigour, and passion. Each show is a
celebration of resilience, connection, and Cornish pride. Rebellious and yet
traditional,
ALL FOR JOLLY are more than a band—they are a force of nature, sailing the
high seas of music with a message of hope and solidarity. As well as making
powerful gains on the live scene, ALL FOR JOLLY have also been working
diligently on their new album and it’s a real statement of intent. Sammantha
Hannah (Lady of the Sea – vocals, mandolin and guitar) remarks: “I cannot wait
for the release of our upcoming self-titled album All For Jolly. Expect an
eclectic and fresh mix of genres including sea soaked tales and mandolin riffs,
plus rich and heartfelt songs that burst with energy—all with an overall theme of
new beginnings”.
ALL FOR JOLLY are the epitome of a DIY band – industrious, determined and
their progression is sure to be swift. With a lengthy tour planned to coincide
with their highly anticipated album launch, ALL FOR JOLLY are ready to soar.
