MFF2027: Chloe Foy

Part of Manchester Folk Festival 2027. This show will take place in Carole Nash Hall within the Stoller Hall building. With her strikingly beautiful voice and emotionally direct songwriting, Chloe Foy has a penchant for finding magic in the spaces between light and dark. Growing up in the quiet of the English countryside, it was through music that she first learned how to express the nuance of emotion. Her songs are a reflection of that stillness, woven with threads of vulnerability and longing. Her lyrics speak to the complexity of the human experience — love, loss, and the subtle daily battles we all fight. With a voice that’s as delicate as it is powerful, she creates music that speaks to the heart. Chloe Foy introduced herself to the world with her 2021 debut, Where Shall We Begin. A rich and meticulously put together debut, the album received rave reviews from the likes of The Sunday Times, Clash and The Line of Best Fit. Tracks from the album regularly featured on BBC 6 Music, with support coming from Guy Garvey and Radcliffe & Maconie. With the album charting in the UK Folk Chart Top 40, Chloe truly cemented herself as an artist that flies the flag for the independent singer-songwriter with skill and finesse. Chloe’s anticipated follow up Complete Fool, due 6th June via Kartel Music Group, captures a deepened, richer sound; merging rock-tinged folk with classic strings and layered vocals that she is becoming known for. Complete Fool explores real love and puts a microscope to the finer details of what it means to love long-term. The album isn’t afraid to ask difficult questions. What is the cost of a long-term relationship? How do you balance divergent ambitions and priorities? Do we lose parts of ourselves in the process of falling in love? The answer lies in this beautiful, poignant, yet celebratory tribute to real life and real love.
