Once again, those lovely fellas Peter and Jonathan from Dart Gig Promotions have managed to organise another one of their Fantastic Folk Gigs - this time the much acclaimed folk band Leveret - to entertain us at the Flavel this coming Saturday.
How do they do it? They just seem to have a knack for searching out an eclectic mix of 'Folk Royalty' and enticing them to come and delight us with their extraordinary talents - how lucky are we??
To learn a little bit more about Leveret members Andy Cutting, Sam Sweeney and Rob Harbron please read on...
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.
Saturday's performance from Leveret looks set to be a real
treat for us, if some of their reviews are anything to go by - just take
a look at a small selection from their website:
“This trio of fantastic English musicians is so exuberant in their dance energy and understated in the beauty of their interwoven harmonies. Witnessing the subtlety of their musical interaction on stage was like a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended! ” - Natalie Haas
“Classy players … their intuitive way with tunes is glorious” - Mojo
“Three of England's finest traditional players weaving exquisite tapestries out of old and new tunes. Just sublime. I can't recommend seeing them live enough. ” - Verity Sharp, BBC Radio 3
"You won't find English folk music played better than this.” - R2
Anyway, it's time for me to stop 'Rabbiting' on now so why don't you 'Hare' on down to the Flavel and secure your Leveret tickets without delay?
You won't be 'Happy Bunnies' if you miss out - 'Hop' to see you there... (Sorry!)
