About this event

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. Together their performances combine consummate musicianship, compelling delivery and captivating spontaneity. Leveret’s music is not arranged in the conventional sense and instead they rely on mutual trust, listening and responding. 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.  

Fiddler Sam Sweeney was the 2015 BBC Folk Awards Musician of the Year, a veteran of the mighty Bellowhead, and inaugural artistic director of the National Youth Folk Ensemble. 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 Daltry. 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. 

Please note: seating is limited and will only be available to those with pre-booked tickets. Standing room will be available within the safe capacity level for the space. We expect this event to be very popular.  At times access to Blackwell Hall may be controlled to enable all visitors to enjoy the event safely.
