Acclaimed Suffolk folk duo Honey & The Bear bring their live show to Cornwall with a difference this summer.

They will be joined on stage by celebrated percussionist Evan Carson and in-demand multi-instrumentalist Toby Shaer for a show in Penzance on June 12.

After a long series of very popular Livestream gigs during lockdown husband and wife team Jon & Lucy Hart are very happy to be back on the road singing and playing to audiences in person once again.

'We were so happy to keep going during the lockdown and develop a new community of listeners online, but playing live shows to an audience in the room again has been incredible, it seems that everyone has really missed this experience".

Honey & The Bear also released their second album 'Journey Through The Roke' last year and listeners will get the chance to hear some of that material for the first time as they bring folklore of the past and present to life, from Suffolk and beyond.

British folk and roots duo Honey & the Bear 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, their passion for nature and the odd heartbreak or two.

The multi instrumentalist pair, comprised of songwriters Jon Hart (guitar, bass, bazouki) and Lucy Hart (guitar, ukulele, bass, banjo, mandolin & percussion), have been writing and performing together since early 2014, having met at a songwriting event two years previous. Since then, they have played at many revered venues and festivals across the UK as well as travelled across the channel for their first European tour.

They play The Acorn, Penzance on June 12.
