Folk artist Lewis Barfoot brings her trio to Frome to celebrate the release of her debut album, Glenaphuca released in March 2021. A gorgeous album that condenses modern maturity into a melodic simplicity.
Described by Folk Radio UK as: “The delightful sound of a musician who is both an accomplished composer of original material and a torchbearer keeping alive traditional styles and song, Unequivocally enjoyable, Glenaphuca is an absolute treat”.
Featuring popular singles White Dress, Sweet Dreams, Fisherman as heard on RTE Radio 1, Raidio na Gaeltacht, FRUK and across BBC Radio. Lewis works with an uncomplicated loveliness of sound, blending ethereal, evocative vocals with original compositions and reinventions of traditional songs from Ireland and the UK. Frequently compared to the likes of Kate Rusby, Sandy Denny, Maíre Brennan and Julie Fowlis.
Lewis recently discovered that her great grandparents and 3 generations before them were from Frome.
With support from Currer Bell. Frome based alt-folk duo and 21st century Victorian philosopher witches. In real life, they go by Faron and Merle, sisters who’ve grown up spinning tales and playing music together.
