Lady Maisery and Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith - Wakefire: A Summer Album

After several years delighting audiences with their hugely loved wintertime
project Awake Arise, the folk supergroup of Lady Maisery (Hannah James,
Rowan Rheingans & Hazel Askew) and Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith, have
joined their considerable creative forces again, this time to celebrate the
summer

Their highly anticipated second collaboration Wakefire: A Summer Album releases on
May Day 2026 as a special double length album-book.

If the first album Awake Arise established this group as trusted makers of deep and
multi- disciplinary folk, then Wakefire delves deeper into the possibilities of both an
album and live show, weaving song, prose, poetry and musique concrete into a journey
for the audience. At 27 tracks, Wakefire bucks the emergent trend of ephemeral
shorter releases. It's a return to the long form, a double length album, befitting its
reverence for the longest days of the year; an invitation to a more immersive and
unfolding listening experience.
