Gavin Fairhall Lever - Filey Evron Centre

A Filey debut for this acclaimed trio and a special matinee show.
Their latest record, ' Tearing Down Walls ' featured in many best of year lists.

GAVIN FAIRHALL LEVER are a stunning explosion of colour in the wild and unruly garden of the London folk scene. A tangle of roots from Northern Ireland, Cornwall and Norfolk gives exuberant life to a truly contemporary folk music, full of thorns and flowers. The trio bring together the exhilarating, joyful tumble of Celtic trad, a melodic warmth, vibrant rhythmic invention, and the subtle expressivity of jazz harmony. Tunes unfold like stories, with dynamic and textured arrangements keeping the pages turning, from chapters of luminous stillness into passages of
unstoppable drive. All performed with a compelling combination of fire, precision and mongrel bite.

The trio have become renowned for their captivating live performances (flawless FolkLondon), including at Caceres Irish Fleadh (Spain), Zilleghem Folk (Belgium), Broadstairs Folk Festival, and Celtic Connections Glasgow. Following the success of their debut record (One of my top favourites of the year Brilliant. RnR \*\*\*\*), their second album was recorded live to tape at Analogue Catalogue Studios in Northern Ireland with Julie McLarnon (Lankum, Alasdair Roberts, Brian Eno)
