About the show

No longer touring, this is a rare opportunity to see Greg play a curated selection of his favourite songs. Some of which he has written, some of which he has borrowed, all of which he loves singing very much.


A two-time BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner, Greg has toured extensively over the last ten years, both solo and as part of duos and groups.


Greg is also known for his creative involvement in folk opera The Transports and Shake the Chains – celebrating the role of music in social change and protest alongside folk luminaries including Peggy Seeger and Nancy Kerr.

Greg Russell appearing at this event
Greg began his career in folk singing at the age of 14, performing floor-spots at Chester’s Raven Folk Club but, with remarkable speed, established himself as a singer, musician, songwriter and song interpreter of great promise. In 2011, Greg teamed up with fiddler extraordinaire Ciaran Algar of Tri fame and the rest (as they say) is history. Greg and Ciaran have taken the British folk music scene by storm, clinching two BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards -The Young Folk (2013) and Horizon Award (2014) With two widely acclaimed studio albums on the Fellside label to their credit (The Queen’s Lover and The Call) and a live DVD (In Concert) they really have fulfilled their promise.
