ROSS BURKITT & ALI WARD

Ross Burkitt & Ali Ward are a long-standing partnership who hail from the Bawdsey Peninsula. They play a beguiling and eclectic mix of original, contemporary and traditional acoustic music, featuring tight vocal harmonies and beautifully played arrangements of well chosen songs.

Ross is an accomplished guitarist and singer and Ali adds vocals and ethereal flute to the mix. They have been regular performers in East Anglia for many years and this will be their fourth appearance at Hungate Church (the first 3 having been at the Canopy Theatre). They have performed at a number of East Anglian festivals, most recently at the 2026 Bungay Folk Festival.

Plus support from Silver Moon - Suffolk based husband and wife duo Martin & Sarah Lovett. Martin has been a member of various bands (including 90’s folk/rock band Instant Chaos!) and several duos as well as performing solo. He sings, plays guitar, tenor guitar and percussion and writes songs and has supported double FATEA Award-winner Hannah Scott several times at the Canopy Theatre.

Sarah sings and plays percussion and she and Martin have been performing together as a duo since 1999 with a wide range of styles from folk to Americana to pop. They have performed at many venues across Suffolk and Norfolk as well as a number of folk festivals further afield (including the Middlewich Folk & Boat Festival) and Lowestoft’s Gig On The Green. ​

This is the first in a new series of fully acoustic shows at Hungate Church.
