Pioneering folk trio Faustus tour the UK next month, appearing in Bishop's Castle on April 21, and release a brand new EP Slaves, hot on the heels of their acclaimed album Death & Other Animals, which has just received the German Critics Award in the Folk/Singer-Songwriter/World Music Category.
Faustus is an established name in the English folk scene made up of three of the best-known and talented English folk musicians – Paul Sartin (Bellowhead, Belshazzar’s Feast), Benji Kirkpatrick (Bellowhead, Seth Lakeman Band), and Saul Rose (Waterson: Carthy, Whapeazel, War Horse).
During 2016 they were artists in residence at Halsway Manor, the National Centre for Folk Arts in Somerset, where they had access to the Manor’s extensive library and where Death and Other Animals was recorded.
Faustus will be at The Three Tuns Inn in Bishop's Castle on Friday, April 21 at 7.30pm. For tickets, visit wegottickets.com/event/387512
