Leveret are a highly acclaimed English folk trio renowned for their innovative approach to traditional music, blending consummate musicianship with captivating spontaneity. Formed in 2014, the band comprises three of England’s most celebrated folk musicians: Andy Cutting (melodeon), Sam Sweeney (fiddle), and Rob Harbron (English concertina). Together, they explore English tunes with a fresh yet deeply rooted perspective, drawing on their individual mastery of their instruments to create a sound that is both timeless and strikingly original.
Leveret’s music is firmly grounded in the English folk tradition but stands apart thanks to its spontaneous nature. The trio eschew conventional arrangements, instead relying on mutual trust, keen listening, and real-time musical interplay. This approach ensures that no two performances are ever the same, offering audiences a uniquely spontaneous experience that feels both ancient and contemporary.
The trio’s chemistry is a cornerstone of their appeal. Critics have lauded the “almost telepathic interplay” between Cutting, Sweeney, and Harbron as they weave their melodies together. Reviews from outlets like The Guardian, Mojo, and fROOTS have praised their “glorious” intuitive playing, “sublime” musicianship, and the “feel-good warmth” they generate on stage. We are delighted to welcome Leveret back to The North Wall.
