THE LARKS
Liz and Chris began singing together at Open Mic nights at The Bear Inn in Beyton in 2007, then named themselves the Larks and performed a growing number of songs at various venues in Norfolk and Suffolk. Their repertoire consists of an eclectic mix that they love and enjoy playing, to which they have been gradually adding their own sparkling folk-pop songs.

TONY WINN
Tony Winn is known and respected on the English acoustic music scene as a songwriter, poet and performer of a high calibre. Inspired by Dylan and the folk revival to start creating original music as a schoolboy, he’s since soaked up an eclectic range of musical influences resulting in an extensive live repertoire and seven album releases. “…writes magic songs, gentle and intelligent – almost too intelligent for the mainstream pop market” MAKING MUSIC.
