NETTLEBED Folk Club is to return next month, bringing an eclectic mix of musicians every week.

Based in the village centre on the high street, it attracts a high calibre of acts, including Faustus.

This is not their first visit, having performed there in 2019.

The group say they take traditional English music, rip it up, put it together again and move it on.

A vigorous rhythmic impetus and rock/prog rock influence propels the sound into the here and now and a range of instruments deployed in unconventional ways gives a unique texture, depth and variety to the band’s sound.

Driving rhythms on bouzouki and guitar are reinforced by the melodeon, fiddle, oboe and cor anglais, creating arrangements that are intriguing and subtle, boisterous or punchy.

The band’s voices are Benji Kirkpatrick, Paul Sartin and Saul Rose, and it is said that their close harmonies are faultless and well-crafted.

“We do work hard on crafting arrangements to make them musically interesting, and also stitching together texts to make music that is not just ephemeral, but has some sort of lasting quality,” they say.

And they group have received plaudits for their work.

Tom Robinson from BBC Radio 6 Music said: “Ridiculously great band. So stunning live.”

Faustus plays Nettlebed Folk Club on Monday, October 17.
