Pavey Ark are a fast-rising Alternative Folk band from Yorkshire.
Atmospheric vocals, strings and horns glide over finger-picked guitar, melodic bass and complex percussion. The result is a beautiful, folk-inspired sound that's established the band as one of the must-see acts on the UK scene.
Formed in 2016, the band are built around singer-songwriter Neil Thomas, described by UNCUT as "one of the most promising songwriters to emerge" from the area. Their debut album, Close Your Eyes and Think of Nothing, was released in 2020 to critical acclaim, and was chosen by the BBC as one of their picks for National Album Day in 2022.
Pavey Ark's first ever live performance was for BBC Introducing in 2016. Known for their sublime live shows, they played the Glastonbury Acoustic Stage in 2022 – a huge achievement for an independent act. They've also closed Stage 3 at Cambridge Folk Festival in 2023, played the Lakefest main stage in 2024, and are heading to SXSW 2025.
