SCOTTISH folk group Fara are on the road for a New Year tour, and they are on the way to the Fleece Inn at Bretforton, near Evesham.

The band is known for its "vibrant arrangements full of rich harmonies, energetic fiddle playing and driving piano".

A spokesman said: "Fara’s music is an exciting experience. A mixture of self-penned and traditional Orkney tunes as well as stunning vocals, the young women’s combined musical experiences and friendships produce an exciting and individual sound.

"Fara brings together four emerging musicians at the forefront of today’s young Scottish folk scene: Jennifer Austin, Kristan Harvey, Jeana Leslie and Catriona Price’s three fiddles and a piano, to produce a fiery sound rooted strongly in their upbringing among the music of Orkney."

The date for the diary is Sunday, February 12, from 8pm.
