Counter's Creek

Counter’s Creek is an acoustic folk band who play original music inspired by the folk traditions of the British Isles and beyond, including foot-tapping jigs and reels, dance grooves from Eastern Europe and West Africa and a whole lot more!

Featuring Ben Cox (voice/flute/whistles/harmonium), Jonathan Taylor (flute/whistles), Tom Newell (violin/banjo) and Moss Freed (guitar), expect an evening of exciting, uplifting entertainment, with virtuoso performances delivered by engaging and witty musicians who convey their passion for contemporary British and Irish folk music in their playing as well as encouraging the audience to join them in sea shanties and heart-wrenching songs in sublime 4-part harmonies!

Between them the four musicians have performed at most of the UK’s leading Folk and Jazz festivals, played with pop acts including Muse and One Direction, appeared on TV shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and in numerous stage shows on the West End and around the UK. Don’t miss this exciting group as they visit Dorset with Artsreach, the county’s rural arts charity.
