This man is known as composer, writer and broadcaster as well as being one third of Coope Boyes and Simpson but we have coaxed him away from all that tonight for a solo booking. Expect some fine singing of both traditional and self penned material coupled with a great sense of humour and insightful anecdotes. Lester plays melodeon and bagpipes. Come early for a good night.

This is Will’s second booking as a solo artist at the Diamond. This self taught Anglo concertina wizard delighted us the first time round with his playing and his choice of songs, many from his beloved Sussex and from much farther afield. Will has served his time in the Albion Band as well as being part of the Pump and Pluck Band. As a soloist he can give reign to his vast collection of songs and tunes both serious and comic, all delivered expertly in a quite manner but with a sparkle in his eye. This is a rare chance to see him in the Midlands.
