An English folk-band at the top of their game, Leveret’s music demonstrates the enduring appeal and endless potential of the folk tune. They are made up of three of England’s finest folk musicians. Andy Cutting (button accordion), Sam Sweeney (fiddle) and Rob Harbron (concertina) are each regarded as exceptional performers and masters of their instruments. Together, their consummate musicianship, mutual trust and freewheeling spontaneity make for a compelling live experience. With playing as relaxed and natural as this, audiences are drawn in to share music-making that’s alive with possibilities – intimate, intense, made ‘in the moment’ and yet deeply timeless. Their 2023 album Forms celebrated 10 years together and is a blend of new and traditional tunes played with the band’s trademark interaction and invention.
“What was remarkable was the delicacy and quality of their playing and the empathy between the three men, watching each other intently as they progressed from repeated melody lines to subtle, spontaneous variations. It was a magical set.” The Guardian ****
“In folk music you need to hear the human. Leveret have got that trance-like thing – I’ve taken people to Leveret concerts who don’t necessarily have an interest in folk and they’ve totally got it. Verity Sharp, BBC Radio 3 Late Junction
The performance ends approx. 9.30pm including an interval.
Seating for this event is arranged as tables at the front of the hall, with tiered seating behind.
