SAM SWEENEY makes a welcome return to Downend to headline our concert on Friday 21 February, when he’ll be joined on stage by special guest LOUIS CAMPBELL. 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. Bristol-based singer-songwriter LOU SHEPHERD brings the powerful energy of the folk revival firmly into the world of experimental indie-folk, and she will get the evening underway, with the concert also live-streamed in partnership with LIVE TO YOUR LIVING ROOM.
