traditional folk by some of the younger Kent folk

Hello everyone,

Sorry, was unsure what to call the title really so just went for the place name! There are a small trio that are working the circuit around the Maidstone area in Kent; Toby, Soph and Callum. They're a part of the folk rock band Wheeler Street but this is the trio that were around before the band.

They perform a lot more traditional acoustic stuff. Lots of Nic Jones, Peter Bellamy, etc. influence but all arranged and played individually and beautifully by the three of them (I think they're actually using a double bassist as well now).

Anyway, I've just been wandering around town and noticed that they are playing in the Style and Winch this Friday, on Union Street. It may be worth the trip for anyone wishing to see some refreshing traditional folk by some of the younger Kent folk scene.

Sinéad.

I'll second that, Sinead. I think it definitely would be worth the trip! They are really good!

Union Street? I know one in London and one in Aberdeen.

Hi, S.T.M. -
Hope you don't mind that I added a bit to the thread title for clarification.

That's fine Joe.

Peter, I'm sure there are millions of Union Street's. But this one is in Maidstone, Kent.
