Wolverhampton's Newhampton Arts Centre will welcome a stellar line-up of renowned artists for a new season of folk music at the venue.

Kicking off on 14 October, the harmonious trio, Ward Knutur Townes, will take the stage. Emerging during a time of global stillness, Lucy Ward, Svavar Knutur, and Adyn Townes joined forces through the innovative Global Music Match. Their debut album, crafted in the serene landscapes of Iceland, promises a journey through Lucy's evocative tales, Svavar's deep Icelandic roots, and Adyn's poignant lyrics, narrating tales of love, folklore, and mystery.

On 18 November, the melodies of James Delarre's fiddle and Saul Rose's melodeon (pictured) will resonate through the arts centre. Both seasoned artists in the folk scene, their latest record, 'Kith and Kin', stands as a testament to their shared passion for traditional tunes and their enduring camaraderie. Their performance promises a harmonious blend where the old and new coalesce seamlessly.

Rounding off the season on 16 December are Jackie Oates and John Spiers, two pillars of contemporary folk. Their evening, deeply rooted in the rich folklore of Oxfordshire, promises a celebration where traditional carols and tunes come alive. With Jackie's ethereal voice and John's melodeon mastery, audiences are in for a treat that transcends mere performance, becoming a celebration of Oxfordshire's musical legacy.
