SUMMARY:Grayshott Folk Club welcomes back: KRIS DREVER
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 22nd April 2026 at 7.30pm \nGrayshott Folk club welcomes back:\nKRIS DREVER (on tour from Scotland)\nhttps://www.krisdrever.com/ \nWe warmly welcome back Kris Drever for his third visit to Grayshott Folk Club. In November 2018\, he played for us as a member of super group and multi award-winning Lau. In March 2025\, he returned in a duo with Fiddle player and fellow Scot\, Chris Stout and played for us at Churt Village Hall. Tonight\, Kris plays solo. \nKris Drever is among Scotland’s most acclaimed and distinctive contemporary musicians. He is celebrated for his warm voice\, virtuoso and expressive guitar playing as well as his imaginative and evocative song writing. Raised in the Orkney Islands\, Kris- has carved out a unique place at the intersection of traditional Folk and modern acoustic music as a solo artist\, as one third of the award-winning trio Lau and as a collaborator of the highest order with a wide range of top musicians. \nOver the course of his career\, Kris has won hatfuls of honours\, including BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards for Best Singer\, Best Original Song\, and Best Group as a member of Lau. His solo work combines lyrics of depth and authenticity with expertly pitched arrangements\, exploring themes of place\, identity\, and social change\, delivered with clarity\, compassion\, and poetic insight. \nKris Drever is a go-to Master Musician who has been involved in so many different projects throughout the years and we feel privileged that he has elected to include us on this tour which will help him to launch and promote his brand new album “Doing This For Love”. \nDespite some earlier misgivings that Kris had about his new album and a short crisis of confidence over it\, Kris met up with musical friend Euan Burton\, who persuaded Kris to re-visit and re-interpret his songs and with Euan’s help and that of several musician friends\, the album took on a new lease of life until\, as Kris says in his own words: \n“Somewhere along the way\, we all made a record that is uniquely itself and stands up\, in my considered opinion\, with the best things I’ve ever made\, with anybody\, ever.” \nI urge everybody to come along and judge for themselves…….. \nKris was featured playing live on the BBC Radio Folk Show on Wednesday 28th January 2026 when he premiered a song from his new album\, called\, “Save A Space”.\nYou can hear it here at about 37 minutes in to the programme: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002q5py \nHe also recently released a single from the album in time for this tour. It is called “Change” and this too was featured on the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show on 18th March 2026. Here it is at about 37 minutes (coincidentally)\, into the programme and just after Fairport Convention:\nhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002sl9r \nHere are a few other\, older songs by Kris\, that I particularly enjoy: \n“If Wishes Were Horses”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tFCES3SWBU&list=RD3tFCES3SWBU&start_radio=1 \n“Throwing Pennies”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xozmhQZB48A&list=RD3tFCES3SWBU&index=12 \nSpell Songs II “Let The Light In: Oak”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5PRlorjsps&list=RDi5PRlorjsps&start_radio=1 \nSupport: Annie Dressner\nhttps://anniedressner.com/home \nAnnie Dressner is a singer-songwriter\, originally from New York City but now living in Cambridge\, UK. Brimming with razor sharp wit\, emotional poignancy and glorious melodies\, Annie’s straightforward lyrical style\, smart wordplay and lilting vocals offer listeners a front row seat to her captivating stories. \nTickets £20 \nAvailable (in person only) from Grayshott Post Office\nReservations with Des O’Byrne on 01428 607096\nOnline tickets from Ents24:\nhttps://www.ents24.com/hindhead-events/grayshott-village-hall/kris-drever/7409310 \nAt:\nGrayshott Village Hall\, Headley Road\, Grayshott\,\nNr.
