MULTI-award-winning folk trio Faustus is appearing at the Helmsley Arts Centre on Saturday .

Nominated in the 2009 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, the Faustus triumvirate are three of the leading lights of their generation: Saul Rose, Benji Kirkpatrick and Paul Sartin.

They have a plethora of experience between them, brought together here in a virtuosic display of musicianship.

Faustus came together in 2006 as an evolution of the award winning band Dr. Faustus.

They made an eponymous debut album two years later, produced by Stu Hanna and released by Navigator Records, which saw them nominated as the Best Group in the 2009 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Subsequent touring saw them headlining at festivals, as well as playing sell-out concerts at arts centres and clubs. In March 2013 they released a new album ‘Broken Down Gentlemen’ on Navigator Records.
