FANS of the brilliant folk group St Agnes Fountain have two chances to see the trio in December, with a concert at Honiton’s Beehive Centre on Thursday 11th and their regular South Petherton date at the David Hall on Sunday 14th.

Folk fans have a double treat at Honiton  when they are joined by Devon-based Seth Lakeman on Saturday 13th.

St Agnes Fountain – Fairport Convention’s Chris Leslie and multi award winning duo Chris While and Julie Matthews – bring their much-loved and unique musical invention and laughter Devon and Somerset, continuing to keep the Christmas spirit alive, while still remembering founder member David Hughes who left the band in 2020 and sadly passed away in 2023.

Although their albums are the sound-track for thousands of friends and families putting up their Christmas trees and decorations throughout Britain and around the globe, it is their magical live performances that have endeared them to audiences.

Seth Lakeman gives two concerts at the Beehive centre, at 2pm and 7.30. He is one of three brothers who continue a folk tradition started by their father, Geoff – Sean performs with his wife Kathryn Roberts and Sam with his wife Cara Dillon.

Seth was nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2005 for Kitty Jay. Multiple albums, tours and high-profile collaborations later, in February 2025, he released his latest studio album, The Granite Way, on his own label, Honour Oak Records. It’s a collection of songs recorded alongside a group of longtime collaborators, staying true to his roots and referring to ancient stories that inspired early West Country storytelling.
