May 13th 2026 - Jack Rutter
Wrea Green Institute, Station Road,
Wrea Green, Preston, PR4 2PH
Yorkshire folk singer Jack Rutter has established himself as one of the standout voices of the folk, roots and acoustic music scene in recent years.
A hugely engaging stage presence, his soaring vocal, powerhouse guitar and bouzouki playing and masterful arrangements of traditional songs and contemporary covers have enthralled audiences from the largest festival main stages to the most intimate folk clubs.
His most recent (critically acclaimed) third album "This Is Something Constant" is a compelling and spellbinding showcase of gripping story ballads and upbeat festival-stage firecrackers, perfectly pitched and delivered with soaring, crystal clear vocals that breathe new life into ancient tales.

June 10th 2026 - Dan Webster and Emily Lawler
Wrea Green Institute, Station Road,
Wrea Green, Preston, PR4 2PH
Dan Webster and Emily Lawler deliver a compelling transatlantic blend of Americana, country, folk, and roots. Hailing from York, UK, the duo has won over audiences across the UK and Australia with their captivating live performances and finely crafted songs.
Dan’s powerful, warm vocals and storytelling prowess draw from his Yorkshire heritage — weaving tales of family, fishing, and life’s emotional undercurrents into songs that echo with the spirit of bluegrass, country, and English folk. Whether delivering a stripped-back ballad or igniting a dancefloor at a festival, his songwriting is as grounded as it is emotive.
At his side, Emily Lawler brings extraordinary fiddle work shaped by both Celtic and country influences, along with soaring harmonies that add richness and depth to the duo's sound. Together, Dan and Emily have become favourites on the UK festival scene, playing major sets at Green Man, Shambala, Kendal Calling, and Maverick Festival.
They'll be with us having come back from their (2nd) successful tour of Australia in March.
