Regular attendees at folk concerts in and around Guildford will need no introduction
to Lester as he has performed in concert in the area on numerous occasions with
Coope, Boyes & Simpson and presented his own memorable show, Standing In Line,
at Cranleigh Arts Centre in 2007.

As well as being a great singer Lester is a gifted multi-instrumentalist and an award-
winning songwriter. His powerful lyrics and wry humour have brought him an eclectic
range of commissions from the Belper Millennium Celebrations to Peace Concerts
Passendale, a Flemish organisation which brings together artists and writers from
different countries. Lester's songs and music have been used for the soundtracks of
the Channel 4 documentary The Underground War and Carlton Television's Shot
at Dawn' and his work in film and theatre includes a period with the Royal
Shakespeare Company at the Barbican Theatre in London.

And in his spare time he presents a weekly two hour show for BBC Radio Derby.

We are delighted to welcome four members of the Wilson family from Teeside,
bothers Tom, Steve, Ken and Mike, to Guildford for what will be an evening of
splendid singing at the Institute. Regarded by many as the foremost acappella
group on the folk scene, they sing traditionally oriented songs in unaccompanied
harmony, like to have a bit of a laugh and wash it all down with a few odd pints.

“They now stand apart as the foremost harmony group entertaining folk
audiences today" Roy Harris

“There's a musical honesty about them that links past and present together.
They are among the people who go about singing traditional songs that
really move me" Dick Gaughan
