Hi, I’m George.

I am co-founder and creative director of Connection With Wonder.

I run “South East London Folklore Society” a series of packed-out monthly talks on a variety of magical subjects. For children, I tell stories with a focus on inclusion and child-led interaction.

Music is the heart of my creative life. My songwriting credits include ten solo albums and several top ten hits.

My musical project for Crossways Community centre was performed at The Globe Theatre. Since 2020, I have worked on an ongoing story-into-song project with Romani storyteller Richard O’ Neill MBE and University of Sunderland. In 2024, I received a grant from the Arts Council to develop my classical scoring. In 2026, my first album, Leisure Noise, was re pressed and re-released on blue vinyl. (The pressing sold out in a day.) You can book me here.

Here’s a video made for one of my songs by Richard Mansfield:

“A Casual Invocation” was an album of magical workings. It was one of Songlines top 10 folk albums of 2020.

My album, “Constant Companion” was Folk Radio UK’s Album of the month for December 2018.

“It is rare for an album of predominantly traditional material to sound fresh and inspired all the way through. It is even less common for such an album to feel both thrillingly contemporary and utterly timeless. With Constant Companion Hoyle somehow managed it. As Cunning Folk, he is making some of the finest acoustic music to come out of this country in years.”

“a quietly huge endeavour, a labour of love, full of valuable knowledge, surprising stylistic breadth and exquisite songwriting.” Folk Radio UK (On my album “Ritual Land Uncommon Ground”)

“beautifully-rendered pastoral and Pagan acoustic folk-pop.” fRoots

“a record that manages to demonstrate integrity without affectation. A breath of fresh air.” Shindig

“Charming & mesmeric” Guardian (on my album “Into the Greenwood”)

“Perfectly epitomises folk music in principle & execution” Sonic Bandwagon

My album wth Jamie Paton, ‘Migration’ was released on Prins Thomas’ Internasjonal label in February 2012 – on double gatefold vinyl and cd. Some reviews; DJ 8/10, Mixmag 4/5, Blues & Soul 5/5
