Folk rock concert by the band FolkLaw at the Friargate Theatre in York.
FolkLaw play the Friargate Theatre on Saturday 3 October. It's a folk music concert in the heart of York, and if you're not familiar with the name, they describe their sound as stylish and passionate folk rock.
That description gives you a fair idea of where they sit. Folk rock is a broad church, but the 'stylish' part suggests it's not just traditional tunes played on acoustic guitars; there's a rock edge to it, and the 'passionate' bit points to the kind of singing that carries a room. It's the sort of gig that works as well for people who follow the folk scene as it does for anyone who just likes a good live band.
The venue is the Friargate Theatre, a vibrant studio theatre owned and managed by Riding Lights Theatre Company. It's tucked away in Lower Friargate, just off Clifford Street, and it's a regular spot for touring productions from Riding Lights alongside a variety of shows by visiting performing arts groups. It also takes in coach parties and educational visits, so it's a working theatre that sees a fair bit of movement through its doors.
