Fabulous Folk From Leveret

A big thank you to Peter and Jonathan of  Dart Gig Promotions for their latest 'Folk at the Flavel' concert last Saturday.

Leveret, comprised of acclaimed British folk musicians Andy Cutting, Sam Sweeney and Rob Harbron, entertained us with their great performance of fine fiddling, marvellous melodian magic and - er - cracking concertina-ing. (Sorry chaps)

 

Not only are they all extremely accomplished musicians but they're really nice guys too. We really enjoyed their wit and fun - not to mention the music! - and hope to welcome them back to Dartmouth again soon.

Thanks to Leveret and all involved all in for a most enjoyable evening. Please keep up the good work, DGP...

Dart Gig Promotions have done it again...!

 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.

 Fiddler Sam Sweeney was the 2015 BBC Folk Awards Musician of the Year. 

He directs the National Youth Folk Ensemble and is known for his work in Bellowhead, Eliza Carthy & The Wayward Band, The Full English and his own 'Made In The Great War' project.

 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!)

Los Pacaminos are Coming to Town!

I'm so excited - Los Pacaminos are performing at The Flavel next week, and I can't wait to see them again! 

Can't believe we're lucky enough to have such a popular band playing at the Flavel - right on our doorstep...

Paul Young and Jamie Moses

We saw this great Tex Mex band - led by the ever-popular Paul Young - at Exeter a while ago and thought they were brilliant.

It was such a great atmosphere, with everybody feeling happy and up on their feet - and I don't think it was just down to the tequilas...!

The Flavel are making the whole evening into a great party night ...

 

 ...and teaming up with the Coffee Couture Cafe who are serving takeaway beef chilli or spicy veggie nachos (with cheese, guacomole and sour cream).

Available from 6pm for just £6.50 per bowl.

Pre-book your food here to avoid queueing - you won't want to miss all the fun!

The bar will be open throughout the entire performance so you can come and go as you like, and I have it on good advice that there will be tequila shots - just to get us into that TexMex Mood...

Sound good to you? Tickets are selling fast but there are still some left so I hope to see you there - should be a fun night!

 

Thursday 20th September from 8pm
