GAVIN FAIRHALL LEVER

Gavin Fairhall Lever bring their unique blend of contemporary folk to Hyde Park Book Club for the trio's debut Leeds performance
Doors 6.30pm - music starts 7.30pm. Contemporary folk trio Gavin Fairhall Lever play their debut Leeds gig as part of their spring tour 2026.
GAVIN FAIRHALL LEVER are a stunning explosion of colour in the wild and unruly garden of the London folk scene. A tangle of roots from Northern Ireland, Cornwall and Norfolk gives exuberant life to a truly contemporary folk music, full of thorns and flowers. The trio bring together the exhilarating, joyful tumble of Celtic trad, a melodic warmth, vibrant rhythmic invention, and the subtle expressivity of jazz harmony.
The trio have become renowned for their captivating live performances (“flawless” - FolkLondon), including at Caceres Irish Fleadh (Spain), Zilleghem Folk (Belgium), Broadstairs Folk Festival, and Celtic Connections Glasgow. Following on from the success of their debut record (“One of my top favourites of the year... Brilliant.” - RnR ****), their second album was recorded live to tape at Analogue Catalogue Studios in Northern Ireland with Julie McLarnon (Lankum, Alasdair Roberts, Brian Eno), and was released in February 2025.
James Patrick Gavin - Fiddle/Voice
Tim Fairhall - Double Bass
