LIVE MUSIC 🎶
Friday, 11th September
Grace Smith Trio & Archie Churchill-Moss
Join us at The Straw Yard for another evening of exceptional music, this time with the incredible Grace Smith Trio and Archie Churchill-Moss.
Wielding the distinct voices of fiddle, concertina and mandolin, the Grace Smith Trio brings together three like-minded musicians to create one dynamic and expressive musical dialogue.

Acclaimed fiddle and viola player Grace Smith is joined by Sam Partridge (concertina) and Tom Kimber (mandolin) in this innovative ensemble, which offers a fresh take on folk. Drawing deeply from tradition, whilst also expanding their repertoire with new melodies of their own, the Grace Smith Trio explores the boundaries of what folk can be to mesmerising effect; their music will stay with you long after you finish listening.

Their debut album Overleaf was released in Autumn 2023 to great critical reception. In their review of Overleaf, Klof Mag said; “If you’re looking for the exciting future of instrumental folk music, you need search no further.”

Archie Churchill-Moss’s journey through the musical landscape is one of rich collaboration and unwavering commitment to the diatonic button accordion—a craft that has earned him widespread acclaim and reverence.

A pioneer in combining folk music with live electronics and a celebrated composer, Archie’s innovative approach seamlessly blends traditional idioms with contemporary composition. His keen attention to modern influences has enabled him to create soundscapes that expand the horizons of folk music. His music has resonated widely, receiving multiple plays on Sky Arts, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 3.

Archie’s career as a session musician is a testament to his versatility and skill. He has collaborated with esteemed folk and traditional artists such as Seth Lakeman, Sam Sweeney, Cara Dillon, Jim Moray, Eliza Carthy, Blair Dunlop, Sam Kelly, and Sam Carter.

This creative workshop will show you the joy of drawing with your intuition.
Abstract, following no rules of classical drawing, inspired by the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi - you will create beautiful art works that find beauty in imperfection, impermanence and simplicity.
Walk away with a beautiful piece of work where you don’t need any drawing skills, just a sense of creativity!
