The New Leaves

The New Leaves, the contemporary folk trio from County Down, Northern Ireland, return to Belfast for a special hometown performance at the Black Box. Renowned for their warm harmonies, evocative songwriting, and beautifully crafted acoustic arrangements, the band have established themselves as one of the most exciting emerging voices on the Irish and Scottish folk scene.

The trio will showcase material from their eagerly anticipated second album, alongside songs from their acclaimed debut record, A Sketch of Home, which reached No. 10 on the Scottish Albums Chart and received widespread radio support, earning praise for its intimate storytelling and rich sense of place. Drawing inspiration from the landscapes, characters, and traditions of their native County Down while bringing a fresh contemporary perspective to folk music, The New Leaves continue to connect with audiences on both sides of the Irish Sea.

Their return to the Black Box marks another milestone in a journey that has seen the band build a loyal following through memorable live performances, festival appearances, and a growing catalogue of thoughtful, beautifully crafted songs.
