One of the brightest spots of this period of lockdown has been the weekly Sunday night concerts from Honey and the Bear. We came across them when they played at the Topic Folk Club in Bradford. A certain amount of serendipity was involved as they were standing in at short notice for another act. Each week they ‘Facebook Live’ from what they whimsically describe as the ‘Bear Cave’. The music is captivating and presented with real heart and evident signs of pleasure. If you have the opportunity why not join them one Sunday from 7.30pm.
Honey And The Bear are multi-instrumental/vocal/songwriting duo Lucy and Jon Hart who have recently released their debut LP – Made in the Aker. They live on the Suffolk coast – aker is Suffolk for turbulent current, if you were wondering – and many of their songs are inspired by their surroundings and local legends. ‘Dark Heart’, is the story of a girl who cut her heart out in despair for her missing lover and whose ghost is said to haunt Dunwich beach but don’t let put you off.
