Join us for a series of intimate folk concerts at Cullercoats Watch House, a unique and quirky venue in the heart of Cullercoats. The evening will include a short support set (details tbc).Grace Smith Trio
Wielding the distinct voices of fiddle, concertina and double bass, the Grace Smith Trio brings together three like-minded musicians to create one dynamic and expressive musical dialogue.
Acclaimed fiddle and viola player Grace Smith is joined by Sam Partridge (Concertina, Electric Guitar) and Bevan Morris (Double Bass) in this innovative ensemble, which offers a fresh take on folk.
Drawing deeply from tradition, whilst also expanding their repertoire with new melodies of their own, the Grace Smith Trio explores the boundaries of what folk can be. Bellows, bow and bass come together to mesmerising effect, with music that will stay with you long after you finish listening.
Their new album, Overleaf, is out now – supported by Help Musicians UK. Visit https://gracesmithtrio.com/ for more details.
“Grace is doing a thing that many musicians take decades to do, she’s making an honest expression of herself through her music, and I love it!” – Sam Sweeney
“The trio explore traditional dance tunes, and add compositions of their own, in a way that is uplifting, occasionally reflective, and played with the kind of dash that just sweeps you along. In short: magnificent.” – The Crack Magazine
“If you’re looking for the exciting future of instrumental folk music, you need search no further.” – Folk Radio UK
