To celebrate their new album, Everything in Readiness, Shovel Dance Collective will be touring the UK in early 2027. The nine-piece ensemble Shovel Dance Collective has been one of the leaders in the resurgence of interest in traditional English music since they came together in late 2019.
Their previous two albums, The Water Is the Shovel of the Shore and The Shovel Dance have been celebrated in the UK and international folk scenes.
