Sit the Folk Down started as a project to reignite a passion for regional music and live music culture by bringing music to unique venues for local music fans to enjoy.

Over the years, it has grown to become a trusted source for organising live entertainment, music management, studio needs, and event needs.

The main goal of STFD’s pop-up music events is to arrange concerts in unusual settings so that attendees leave with the impression that they experienced something special.
