Sam Sweeney - solo evening concert and afternoon workshop for fiddle players

“The fiddler with the Midas touch… an English equivalent of the great Irish fiddle player Martin Hayes.” **** The Guardian

After the release of his three critically acclaimed albums, The Unfinished Violin, Unearth Repeat and Escape That, Sam Sweeney is taking to the road for a few exclusive, intimate, totally acoustic solo performances, playing some of his favourite tunes.

In addition to the evening concert, Sam will be holding a workshop for fiddle players in the afternoon. Both the workshop and concert will be taking place in the beautiful, historic St Mary’s Church in the centre of Guildford.
