About the show
GAVIN FAIRHALL LEVER are a stunning explosion of colour in the wild and unruly garden of the London folk scene.
A tangle of roots from Northern Ireland, Cornwall and Norfolk gives exuberant life to a truly contemporary folk music, full of thorns and flowers. The trio bring together the exhilarating, joyful tumble of Celtic trad, a melodic warmth, vibrant rhythmic invention, and the subtle expressivity of jazz harmony. Tunes unfold like stories, with dynamic and textured arrangements keeping the pages turning, from chapters of luminous stillness into passages of unstoppable drive. All performed with a compelling combination of fire, precision and mongrel bite.
The trio have become renowned for their captivating live performances, commended as “flawless” by FolkLondon; at Caceres Irish Fleadh (in Spain), Zilleghem Folk Fest (Belgium), Broadstairs Folk Festival, and Celtic Connections Glasgow! Following on from the success of their debut record ( dubbed as “One of my top favourites of the year… Brilliant.” By sean Magee of RocknReel Mag ****), their second album was recorded live to tape at Analogue Catalogue Studios in Northern Ireland with Julie McLarnon (Lankum, Alasdair Roberts, Brian Eno), and is released this month in February 2025!
