The Emo Festival

DUE TO HUGE DEMAND – The Emo Festival is coming BACK to Hull!

Stage4Beverley Winter Festival | An Informal Evening of Songs and Music

Come and relax in the unique and historic setting of the Monks Walk Inn in an informal atmosphere with acoustic music from some of the festival guests.

The evening features Pete Bolton and Brian Swinton who were both part of the old-timey band The Whiskey Dogs. Now working as a duo, they perform a set of earthy, early Americana on fiddle, banjo, mandolin and guitar.

Joining them in the concert are Sam Martyn and Wolfy O’Hare, a duo who perform traditional and original folk music from a wide range of traditions and sources – blending some of the styles and instruments associated with early music together with contemporary elements.  Sam is an established folk singer and instrumentalist and Wolfy has been involved with the early music movement since leaving university in the 1970s.

From South of the Humber come Liam Robinson, Carol Dawson and Steve Le Voguer. Members of the trio have played in The Workshy Profits and Folklincs whilst Steve also performs with gypsy jazz guitarist Lewis Kilvington. They perform traditional tunes with an English and Celtic bias on fiddle, concertina, guitar and vocals.

STAGE4BEVERLEY | Friday Late Night Festival Club #1

The perfect way to end your day!

The Late Night Festival Club provides the perfect chance to chill out in a relaxing atmosphere with some great music, great beer and good company with festival artists .

Stage4Beverley Winter Festival | Horizon Stage

The Horizon Stage has become one our most popular events featuring young, emerging musicians and singers from around the country. 

It takes place in the informal setting of the theatre’s Café Bar, giving a relaxed feel to the event.

Artists will include Sam Baxter and Merle Harbron an Anglo/Scottish duo creating dynamic, full-bodied arrangements of contemporary and traditional music. Using fiddle, drones and voice, the pair build vibrant musical landscapes, weaving together melodic lines inspired and improvised from traditional songs and dance music. These two highly-skilled musicians create intimate performances that in an instance can pivot from reflective and nuanced to driving and energetic. Together, they are a force of nature; captivating audiences with their infectious interplay and magnetic musical spirit.

They will be joined by The Hop, an exciting new trio recently graduated from the folk degree at Newcastle University. After meeting in the National Youth Folk Ensemble, they developed an impulsive approach to collaborative composition which has led to a plethora of original tunes. Their instrumental versatility allows the band to explore a wide soundscape that maintains their traditional roots with an innovative flair.  Not only do they play multiple instruments, including guitar, flute, recorder and fiddle, but their infectious presence onstage is increased by the use of electric guitar and synthesizers that make for a compelling and complex performance. Combined with their compositional abilities, The Hop bring a new perspective to the folk tradition, with music that can appeal to all ages.
