Concert featuring major folk artists, Geoff Lakeman, and George Papavgeris
He's the dad of folk stars, Seth, Sean and Sam Lakeman, and an acclaimed musician in his own right. He uses a rare Crane duet concertina to accompany folk songs, Americana (like Jimmie Rodgers, Randy Newman and The Louvin Brothers) and even jazz.
Experience the local legend who inspired his sons - and a new generation of young folk fans.
George Papavgeris would never describe himself as a celebrity, but in the world of folk music he is as well known as any songwriter. A man with a big heart and a passion for life, his songs have been covered by all sorts of folk royalty including Vin Garbutt, Andy Irvine and Roy Bailey. George is a great influence on the folk scene as one of the organisers of Herga Folk Club in Pinner.
After an absence from folk music he rejoined the folk scene at Herga (Harrow, Middlesex) in 2000; discovering his songwriting and performing muscles and then exercising them more and more for the edification of countless folk club- and festival-goers in the UK, Australia, Netherlands and US; almost 200 songs, a dozen covers and 6 albums; and has just recorded his 7th album and his first on the WildGoose label,
