SONGS about cuckolded mole catchers, a lone English oak tree that grows at Gallipoli, care in the community and medieval pilgrims are all in the offing when folk experimentalists Harp and a Monkey play at Cotleigh Brewery, Wiveliscombe, on Saturday (July 15) in the Silver Street Sessions concert series.

The harp ‘n’ banjo driven electro-folk-storytelling of Martin Purdy (vocals, glockenspiel, accordion, harmonica and keyboards), Simon Jones (harp, guitar, viola) and Andy Smith (banjo, melodica, guitar and programming) is imbued with a deep Lancashire sensibility that shines through in beautifully crafted vignettes of northern life, love and remembrance.
