The Woolverstones + HEZRON CHETTY Art-Folk Meets Experimental Violin Live

British Art-Folk Meets Experimental Violin, Rock and Psychedelia in Berlin

Sunday, 15 November 2026 | Villa Neukölln, Berlin

Berlin audiences are in for an eclectic evening of alternative sounds this Sunday as British art-folk outfit The Woolverstones bring their European touring spirit to Villa Neukölln, joined by South African-born, Berlin-based violinist and composer Hezron Chetty as special guest.

Known for their relentless grassroots touring ethic, The Woolverstones play more than 70 dates annually across the UK and Europe. Their debut album, Grey Eyed Dandy, was produced and mixed by Grammy-nominated engineer John Wood, whose production credits include landmark recordings by Nick Drake, John Martyn and Fairport Convention.

Their distinctive art-folk sound draws on a rich musical heritage while retaining an independent spirit shaped by years of performing live and building audiences across Europe.

Joining them as special guest is Hezron Chetty, an unconventional violinist, singer-songwriter and composer whose music pushes the boundaries of what a violin-led performance can sound like.

Originally from South Africa and now based in Berlin, Chetty combines classical violin with punk, rock, folk, jazz and experimental electronic influences. His performances are characterised by raw energy, atmospheric soundscapes, expressive violin playing and an unpredictable approach to live music.

Imagine Jimi Hendrix, Ali Farka Touré and Serge Gainsbourg embarking on a musical collaboration — a meeting of psychedelic experimentation, African influences and alternative rock.

With performances at prestigious venues and festivals including the Royal Opera House, Ronnie Scott's, Rudolstadt Festival and Rocking the Daisies, Chetty has established an international presence. His music has also featured on BBC and Netflix, and he has shared stages with international acts including Incubus and Vieux Farka Touré.

The evening brings together two distinctly individual musical identities: The Woolverstones' richly textured British art-folk and Chetty's genre-defying blend of violin, rock, electro and psychedelia.
