+ Friends (Toby Shaer, Archie Churchill-Moss & Evan Carson)
We are delighted that this gig has now officially been included as part of the Haslemere Festival 2025 and will be featured in the Festival programme.
Honey & The Bear + Friends are rapidly becoming firm favourites with our audience.
After a delayed first gig owing to the pandemic, they have now played for us twice since then; in May 2022 and November 2023. British Folk and Roots duo Honey & the Bear combine delicately interweaving vocal harmonies with emotive and evocative song writing. With a diverse range of sounds, textures and rhythms that flow from the fast and furious to gentle ballads, their live performances are spirited and dynamic. Conjuring up stories in song, they tell tales of Suffolk folklore, courageous people they admire, their passion for Nature and the odd heartbreak or two.
The multi-instrumentalist pair, comprised of songwriters Jon Hart (guitar, bass, bouzouki) and Lucy Hart (guitar, ukulele, bass, banjo, mandolin & percussion), have been writing and performing together since early 2014, having met at a song writing event two years previously. Since forming their band, Honey & The Bear have played at many revered venues and festivals across the UK, as well as travelling across the channel for their first European tour.
They are celebrating ten years together so this show will feature cherry-picked favourite songs from their back catalogue and for the first time at Grayshott, we will be seeing and hearing the full five-piece band.
