A CHURCH will host a concert from an award-winning folk trio.
St Laurence Church, Upwey, will host Leveret on Thursday, October 17.
Leveret is a unique collaboration between three of England's finest folk musicians.
Andy Cutting, Sam Sweeney and Rob Harbron are each regarded as exceptional performers and masters of their instruments with each member of the trio being an award winner in his own right.
Fiddler Sam Sweeney was the 2015 BBC Folk Awards Musician of the Year, directs the National Youth Folk Ensemble and is known for his work with Bellowhead, Eliza Carthy & The Wayward Band, The Full English and his own “Made In The Great War” project.
Melodeon genius Andy Cutting, a three-time BBC Folk Awards Best Musician, is a compelling solo performer and currently works with Blowzabella, Topette, June Tabor, and Roger Daltrey.
Concertina wizard Rob Harbron leads the English Acoustic Collective summer school and is known for his work with The Full English (Best Group and Best Album BBC Folk Awards 2014), Emma Reid, Fay Hield, Jon Boden and others.
Together their performances combine consummate musicianship, compelling delivery and captivating spontaneity.
Their playing is relaxed and natural, drawing audiences in and inviting them to share in music making that is truly spontaneous and yet deeply timeless.
With their albums New Anything and In The Round and over a long string of sell-out gigs, the trio have built a strong reputation as consummate musicians and captivating performers.
The evening is presented by Upwey Music, a charity run by volunteers to arrange music performances in Upwey.
The concert starts at 7:30pm. Tickets can be obtained from www.ticketsource.co.uk/upweymusic or on the door (cash only). There will be a cash bar.
