Union Music Store presents Faustus at the All Saints Centre, Friars Walk:

As part of the Lewes Folk Festival Union is proud to present an evening of top class British folk with Faustus & Elle Osborne

After a break of 18 months, the original trio of Benji Kirkpatrick, Saul Rose and Paul Sartin is reforming.

Nominated in the 2009 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, the Faustus truimvirate are three of the leading lights of their generation: Saul Rose (Waterson;Carthy, Whapweazel), Benji Kirkpatrick (Seth Lakeman Band, Bellowhead) and Paul Sartin (Bellowhead, Belshazzar's Feast).
Faustus came together in 2006 as an evolution of the award winning band Dr. Faustus, when Tim Van Eyken and Rob Harbron left to pursue other projects 'Dynamically fascinating to watch, entertaining and intriguing. Their ability to switch from song to tune, from instrument to voice, from traditional tune to modern arrangements made seeing them again a necessity' Folk and Roots

In Support we have Elle Osborne, local folk singer with critically acclaimed new album Slowly Slowly Got She up, released on the Folk Police label.
