We have a very special private function gig to look forward to in August, then we’re delighted to be returning to The Bluebird in Acomb – our last gig there was a sell-out and we’ve got lots of new tunes to play this time. Then in November we’re heading north for a folk club gig in Saltburn. What could be better?!?

And we have confirmed dates for our monthly gig at The Snickleway Inn in York:

Thursday 18 September
Thursday 16 October
Thursday 20 November
Thursday 18 December

See you there!

We’ve been quiet for a while, but working away in the background on half a dozen new sets of tunes – some Scottish, some Irish, one Northumbrian. One or two traditional but mostly recent compositions by the new Celtic players. Come along to one of our gigs to hear them!

Leather’o will be playing a special one-off gig at Rise – the evening venue of the Bluebird Bakery in Acomb, York on Saturday 31 August. Doors open at 8pm and tickets are £5 – buy them in advance here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/leathero-tickets-974379514357

Thanks to everyone who came along to our election night gig – it was a party atmosphere and great craic!

We’ll be playing at The Snickleway Inn on Goodramgate in York on these Thursdays in the Autumn:

12 September

24 October

14 November

19 December

See you there!

We don’t play many Ceilidhs (what we English would call barn dances) but when we have to, we can play the tunes a bit slower and less complicated. And what a Ceilidh it was! Congratulations to Gracie for a great job as caller and thanks everyone for dancing like wild things!!
