Since meeting 17 years ago, The Larks, Liz Miller and Chris Wilbraham, have developed thier sound, using carefully wrought harmonies, backed by guitar and mandolin to entertain their audiences. They’ve played Ely Folk Festival and headline folk clubs in Suffolk and further afield; they won Watford Folk Clubs Songwriting Competition in 2024. Influences are many (Gillian Welch, Joni Mitchell, The Smiths, The Cure, Anais Mitchell). Their original songs draw on personal experience and feeling and might speak of a remote Fen Land Railway station, a Lifeboat Disaster or Climate change.

live music promo

Fancy playing a tune or two in the pub?

We have a lovely piano (in tune!) and a guitar in the pub - if you fancy playing a tune at a time when we have no other live music please feel free. Entertaining the rabble will usually earn you some free drinks!!

Got a live act you think will go down well?

We do also book paid acts in the pub - although our pub is very small so our fee is too, and we only have room for 3 band members maximum. Acoustic (unplugged) acts only. To enquire about performing please email swefflingwhitehorse@gmail.com
