The Lucy Ward Band, Gentle Good

Lucy Ward needs little introduction to regular Live at All Hallows audience members. Following on from a triumphant Lucy Ward Band gig in April 2014, this will be the Derby songstress's fourth performance for us, this time solo.

Performing both self-penned and traditional material, she spent much of her teenage years listening and playing in folk clubs. As a result of this Lucy's music is grounded in the traditional music of the British Isles; but a love for 80s and 90s pop and indie and an entirely 21st century outlook on life brings a modern twist.

The Gentle Good is the stage-name of Welsh songwriter Gareth Bonello. Gareth draws on the language, poetry and melodies of his native country to create beautiful modern folk music in both English and Welsh. A skilled guitarist, his intricate playing has prompted comparisons to the great guitar pickers of the 60s UK folk revival. HIs 3rd album was named album of 2014 at the Eisteddfod.
