Old Mercia are a band based in and around Royal Tunbridge Wells. They know each other from their hometown, Lichfield, a city deep in the old kingdom of Mercia which has inspired a lot of the music that they make. They found themelves, by chance, all living in the same area after years apart, so picked up their instruments and carried on the journey. Making music never really left any of them and Old Mercia covers a lot of that time in-between.

A blend of folk, indie and rock, our songs explore themes of nostalgia, loss, rebellion and love, telling modern stories of Middle England.
