There is an acoustic feel to the events in and around Ashby this week.
On Friday night, Pete Morton plays live at the National Forest Folk Club in Moira.
Pete began his musical journey after he came across a Buffy St Marie record. It was from that moment on he decided to become a folk singer.
His latest album 'A Golden Thread' has received rave reviews with eight newly self-penned songs, a Pete Seeger classic 'Oh Had I A Golden Thread', and versions of the traditional gems, 'Barbry Allen' and 'The Farmers Boy'.
Discovering the songs of the early sixties protest movement, it inspired him to write and take his songs into folk clubs and beyond. For 30 years, Pete has been performing to audiences all over the world. Throughout that time he has been regarded as one the best on the contemporary roots music scene.
Often referred to as an old time troubadour he has a compelling stage presence and approachable style that delivers an unruly mix of humanism, politics, love, social commentary and humour all wrapping its way around the folk tradition.
