Neil Pearson, EFDSS programming manager, said: ‘The new season has number of one-off shows that you won’t be able to see anywhere else. I am delighted that we can offer people the chance to experience these unique performances at the home of English folk.
‘The programme has an interesting mix of some of the most highly regarded folk musicians such as Steve Knightley, Kate Rusby and John Spiers to the younger upcoming artists like David Gibb and Elly Lucas, so there is something for everyone.’
