A double-header gig showcasing two rising stars in the instrumental folk music scene:

Grace Smith Trio

Wielding the distinct voices of fiddle, concertina and double bass, the Grace Smith Trio brings together three like-minded musicians to create one dynamic and expressive musical dialogue. Acclaimed fiddle and viola player Grace Smith is joined by Sam Partridge (Concertina, Electric Guitar) and Bevan Morris (Double Bass) in this innovative ensemble, which offers a fresh take on folk.

Drawing deeply from tradition, whilst also expanding their repertoire with new melodies of their own, the Grace Smith Trio explores the boundaries of what folk can be. Bellows, bow and bass come together to mesmerising effect, with music that will stay with you long after you finish listening. Their new album, Overleaf, is out now - supported by Help Musicians UK.

“If you’re looking for the exciting future of instrumental folk music, you need search no further.” - Folk Radio UK

Archie Churchill-Moss

Widely regarded as one of the best players of English traditional music, Archie has worked as a session musician for some of the UK's top folk acts (Cara Dillon, Eliza Carthy, Blair Dunlop, Jim Moray) and producers (Andy Bell, Ed Harcourt), as well as performing with the trio 'Moore, Moss, Rutter' - the outfit which saw him receive the coveted BBC radio 2 folk award in 2011.

The cafe and bar will be open for the duration of the event.

Grace Smith Trio

Wielding the distinct voices of fiddle, concertina, and double bass, The Grace Smith Trio cast dynamic, expressive, and reactive musical forces into a dialogue between these three individual yet like-minded musicians. Sam Partridge and Bevan Morris join Grace in forming this engaging folk ensemble, through which the audience can expect to be immersed in a sound world where ideas become reality forged by bellows, bow and bass.
