INTERNATIONAL FLAVOUR FOR TEWKESBURY ‘FOLK TREBLE’ EVENT
A special ‘Folk Treble’ concert will be held in the historic riverside town of Tewkesbury this April.
Worcestershire based singer-songwriters Colin Pitts and Mike Weaver will be jined by Russian folk singer Daria Kulesh for a special ‘Folk Treble’ concert at the intimate 15th century Old Baptist Chapel, on Thursday 12th April.
Daria’s Russian and Ingush roots are reflected in her music, intertwined with multicultural influences she has experienced on her turbulent and exciting journey through life.
Her award-winning album Long Lost Home was described as “haunting and enigmatic” by the Times, and Mike Harding described her latest single as “one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard in years.”
Much of Colin Pitts’ writing has been inspired by the Vale of Evesham, where he lives, and many of his songs have become folk club standards in this region. He is renowned for his powerful yet sensitive style of writing, and relaxed performance style. Colin has performed at clubs, village halls and festivals all over the UK and has also been on many local radio shows as well as a performance on BBC Radio 2.
Mike Weaver – who now lives near Tewkesbury – is known for his self-penned songs which “exude beautiful harmonies, clear story telling and a passion for people.” He returned to writing and performing in 2013, and since then has released three CDs, songs from which have received airplay on folk radio stations all over the globe.
The evening starts at 7.30pm, with doors open from 7.15pm. Please note this a ‘BYOB’ event and that there is no parking at the chapel, which is in an alley off Church Street: Abbey Lawns Car Park is nearby.
