Making a very welcome return to The Wesley Centre at Maltby on Friday 27th June are the Folk and Roots duo ‘Honey and The Bear’ with special guest Toby Shaer.
Honey and The Bear have been a tour de force on the UK folk festival circuit in recent years and combine delicately interweaving vocal harmonies with emotive and evocative songwriting. With a diverse range of sounds and textures, and rhythms that flow from the fast and furious to gentle ballads, their live performances are spirited and dynamic. Conjuring stories in song, they tell tales of Suffolk folklore, courageous people they admire and their passion for nature which has been enchanting audiences up and down the country.
The multi-instrumentalist, husband and wife team is comprised of songwriters Jon Hart (guitar, bass, bouzouki) and Lucy Hart (guitar, ukulele, bass, banjo, mandolin and percussion). Toby Shaer (fiddle, flutes and whistles) is a regular guest and features on all three Honey and The Bear studio albums. Together they have played at many revered venues and festivals across the UK and also over the channel.
In November 2023 they released their latest album ‘Away Beyond the Fret’, their most personal album yet, featuring stories and folklore of all things close to their heart including their home in Suffolk, nature, family, history and community. The album has received much critical acclaim.
Tickets for the show are £16.00 and available from the Wesley Centre reception on 01709 811118 or online (with booking fee) at www.wegottickets.com.
