NEW Sunday 31 May 2020 8pm - Lau Unplugged - Calstock Arts, The Old Chapel, Sand Lane, Calstock PL18 9QX (map)
For the first time in over a decade, Lau present an entirely acoustic tour. The pioneering Scottish folk trio has always experimented with sound and form; the results have been complex and thrilling. Already acknowledged as phenomenal live performers, Lau arrived at a new creative peak with 2019’s Midnight and Closedown. Their 2020 Unplugged concert tour sees traditional music’s most celebrated innovators strip away their banks of electronics, loops and wild effects. The trio of Kris Drever (guitar, vocals), Martin Green (accordion) and Aidan O’Rourke (fiddle) feel drawn to a more raw and plain-speaking aesthetic. The approach is subtler, less about spectacle, more about close listening. In brash and polarised political times, here is the poetry of real instruments and considerate music making. Full details, samples etc. www.calstockarts.org.

NEW Saturday 4 July 2020 - 9th Annual South Brent Folk Day
With singing; music; dancing; workshops; and concerts in the Old School Community Centre, and a headline evening concert in the Village Hall
with guests Martin Carthy and Harbottle & Jonas.
For more than 50 years Martin Carthy has been one of folk music’s greatest innovators, one of its best loved, most enthusiastic and, at times, most quietly controversial of figures. Awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2014, he has had trailblazing musical partnerships with, amongst others, Steeleye Span, Dave Swarbrick, Norma Waterson (his award-winning wife) and his daughter Eliza Carthy which have resulted in more than 40 albums. He’s a ballad singer, a ground-breaking guitarist and an authoritative interpreter of contemporary material and his settings of traditional songs with guitar, have influenced a generation of artists on both sides of the Atlantic including Bob Dylan and Paul Simon.
Harbottle & Jonas is a dynamic Devon (now South Brent) duo becoming increasingly popular at clubs and festivals up and down the country. Dave and Freya are partners in life and music who combine the rich traditions of folk music with original songwriting and contemporary interpretations as demonstrated on their fourth and most ambitious album, ‘The Sea Is My Brother’, which has a maritime theme maintained across political, historical, and personal stories and songs. They blend their closely intertwined vocal harmonies with concertina, harmonium, banjo, cittern, stomp box and acoustic guitar accompaniment.
The annual Folk Day is one of a number of events organised throughout the year by South Brent Folk to support folk music in the South Brent area; still to come are an Autumn Ceilidh with ‘Mooncoin Ceilidh Band on Saturday 17 October 2020 and the Annual ‘Twixt’ Ceilidh on Sunday 27 December 2020 with ‘Buttoned up’.
