About this concert
We are delighted to welcome the return of Honey & The Bear to the Wesley Centre as a trio with Toby Shear.
Honey & the Bear have been a tour de force on the UK Folk Festival circuit in recent years. The British folk and roots duo combine
delicately interweaving vocal harmonies with emotive and evocative songwriting. With a diverse range of sounds and textures,
and rhythms that flow from the fast and furious to gentle ballads, their live performances are spirited and dynamic. Conjuring
stories in song, they tell tales of Suffolk folklore, courageous people they admire and their passion for nature which has been
enchanting audiences up and down the country.
The multi-instrumentalist, husband and wife team comprised of songwriters Jon Hart (guitar, bass, bouzouki) and Lucy Hart
(guitar, ukulele, bass, banjo, mandolin & percussion), are often joined on-stage by band guests Evan Carson (percussion), Toby
Shaer (Fiddle/Flutes/Whistles) and Archie Churchill-Moss (diatonic button accordion) who feature on all three Honey & The Bear
studio albums. Together they have played at many revered venues and festivals across the UK as well as travelled across the
channel. In November 2023 they released their latest album 'Away Beyond the Fret', their most personal album yet, featuring stories and
folklore of all things close to their heart including their home in Suffolk, nature, family, history and community. The album has
received much critical acclaim including 5 stars from the Morning Star. Shortlisted as FATEAs best band of 2023, they are
continuing to enjoy performing their repertoire live as part of their 10 Year Anniversary Tour this year.
