LEVERET

HITCHIN TOWN HALL - MARCH 19th 2026

Leveret are not your average folk band. They’re a trio of musical alchemists—Andy Cutting (melodeon), Sam Sweeney (fiddle), and Rob Harbron (concertina)—who take the raw material of English traditional tunes and turn it into something truly magical. Each of them is among the most celebrated folk musicians in the country, but together they create a sound that’s far more than the sum of its parts: intimate, spontaneous, and profoundly moving.

What sets Leveret apart is their daring approach to live performance. Rather than sticking to rigid arrangements, they rely on deep listening and real-time musical interplay. The result? A living, breathing concert where tunes unfold organically and melodies are passed around the trio like stories around a fire.

Expect an evening of music that feels both ancient and refreshingly new. From haunting slow airs to joyful dance tunes, Leveret’s repertoire draws from centuries of tradition while sounding utterly contemporary. Whether you’re a seasoned folk fan or curious newcomer, this is a rare chance to experience some of the finest musicians in the country up close and at the top of their game.

Join us for a night of exquisite musicianship, rich tradition, and real-time musical conversation. This is English folk as you’ve never heard it before—warm, heartfelt, and brimming with life.
