Folkestone Hosts Raphael Mead

Raphael Mead will perform songs from his latest album The Dancing Flame, an exploration of love, loss, and life's fragility, at Folkestone Harbour Arm on Sunday, 15 November 2026. Raphael began his musical career in top London studios, where he was discovered by producer Clive Langer, known for his work with Madness and Elvis Costello. He later collaborated with artists such as Morrissey, who wrote a song about him, “Used to Be a Sweet Boy.” Producer Peter Collins, who has worked with Rush and Bon Jovi, encouraged Raphael to release his debut album On The Hill in 2007. Since then, he has released several albums, including Ruled by the Heart, Mountain Street, and The Dancing Flame, which draws inspiration from the legend of The Reculver Towers in Herne Bay.
