We’re excited to announce that we have a solo show from Sam Sweeney.
This will be held at St Andrews Church, Psalter Lane Sheffield, S11 8YL and will just be Sam and a fiddle, an intimate evening of solo fiddle tunes and stories.
There was huge demand for his solo tour last year. Sam is a veteran of the mighty Bellowhead, former and inaugural artistic director of the National Youth Folk Ensemble, founder member of the acclaimed instrumental trio Leveret, and “Britain’s Premier Fiddler” (Songlines), at the forefront of the revival in English traditional music.
just him and a fiddle for an intimate evening of solo fiddle tunes and stories.
This tour is a rare opportunity to spend an informal evening with “one of the defining fiddle players of his generation” (Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2).
“The fiddler with the Midas touch… an English equivalent of the great Irish fiddle player Martin Hayes.” **** The Guardian
