Subject: Lucy Ward in Leicester 20 March
Lucy Ward will be appearing at The Musician in Leicester on 20 March.
Definitely the folk person of the moment, Lucy was the winner of the Horizon Award at last month's BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, has just finished supporting Fishermans Friends on their UK tour and with her first video for "For The Dead Men" (which you can watch below) shared on Facebook and described as "brilliant" by Billy Bragg, this is definitely going to be her year. With her debut album Adelphi Has To Fly raved about by everyone from Mike Harding to Uncut and The Guardian to fRoots, this will probably be one of the last opportunities to see her in such a small venue.
Here's the video.
Support comes from Sam Walter, a young unaccompanied traditional ballad singer with a mighty voice, a personality to match and a performance style unlike almost anyone else. Here's a video of him performing "Bonny Bunch Of Roses" rather differently to how June Tabor and Oysterband do it...
