LEVERET
March 2026

If you bring together three of the finest English folk musicians of this century, the chances are that magic will happen, and that was most certainly the case when Leveret made their Mottram debut.

Between them Sam Sweeney, fiddle and viola, Rob Harbron, concertina, and Andy Cutting, melodeon, have a plethora of awards, and having seen them play it's easy to understand why as they weaved their way through a stunning evening of tunes and melodies.

With a repertoire of more than 180 tunes to choose from, and a set list that is never the same from gig to gig, it was remarkable how the evening came together, with tunes and melodies blending seemlessly together as they drew together a spellbinding evening of music.

New album Lost Measures provided half the material played, with opening numbers Captain Drivers Delight/There and Back Again and set closer Ianthe/Aphelion bookending a set that spanned their entire twelve year career.

Particular highlights of the evening were Oh the Days When I Was Young, The Glory of the Sun/the Road to Poynton and the achingly beautiful Evening Hymn, whilst encore Once a Night/Buckland Downs left feet tapping and pulses racing.

A fabulous night of music from a brilliant set of musicians!
