In the summer of 2016, we hosted Steve Ashley, one of England’s best-loved singer songwriters, Steve Ashley has been at the heart of British folk-rock for decades and his songs have been recorded by many of the genres leading lights, including Fairport Convention, Anne Briggs, Martin Simpson, The Arizona Smoke Review and St Agnes Fountain. Throughout the 1970s, Steve was routinely compared with Richard Thompson and his solo albums – from 1974’s Stroll On right through to 2015’s This Little Game (nominated as one of the best folk album’s of the year by the Daily Telegraph) regularly receive rave reviews. Steve Ashley’s website.
