Steve’s the star at Foyer Folk

Evesham Editorial 29th May, 2019   0

ONE of British folk’s finest singer-songwriters performs at June’s Foyer Folk at Pershore Number 8 Community Arts Centre.

Steve Ashley merges tradition with innovation, delivering intelligent and inspired English poetry within distinctive original melodies. His songs have been covered by a legion of folk artists, including Fairport Convention, Anne Briggs and Martin Simpson among many others.

Steve began singing traditional songs in the folk clubs of West London in the 60s and his first album, Stroll On was released in 1974 an award-winning debut which to this day is still regarded as a folk-rock classic.

He has released 12 albums of original songs and his 2015 album, This Little Game was listed in the Best Folk Albums of that year in The Telegraph and Folk Radio UK.




Steve’s latest album, One More Thing was released in September 2018, receiving five-star reviews.

He will be at Pershore Number 8 next Saturday, June 8 at 8pm.
