What's on
WEDNESDAY 14th OCTOBER SEB STONE
Seb Stone is a young folk singer who has quickly made a name for himself on the folk scene, earning recognition as the 2022 winner of Bromyard Folk Festival’s Future of Young Folk Award. Hailing from Sheffield, he draws on a varied repertoire of traditional English and Irish songs and his distinctive voice captures their essence, imbuing them with a sense of history and authenticity. Seb’s ability to convey the stories and emotions behind these songs is enhanced by his skilful musical accompaniment on the uilleann pipes and whistle. This unusual combination creates a powerful and evocative listening experience that sets Seb apart from other young artists in the genre.
‘His unique blend of instruments and voice creates a sound that is both hauntingly beautiful and richly textured’ (Bromyard Folk Festival)

WEDNESDAY 9th DECEMBER
MAGPIE LANE
We are delighted to welcome back for our Christmas evening this excellent five-piece band. Magpie Lane hail from Oxford and specialise in traditional English songs and tunes. They combine powerful vocals with vigorous tunes, performing a wide selection of Christmas carols, wassails and dance tunes, many of them quite unusual. Between them the band plays concertina, melodeon, bouzouki, cello, fiddle and guitar and all of them sing; when they burst into five part harmony it is a joy to hear. (Mulled cider and mince pie included as usual for our Christmas party!)
‘We were superbly entertained. It is wonderful to see a group of talented musicians and singers with an obvious love of the folk idiom playing such a variety of well thought out arrangements.’ (Bill Wilkes, Grand Union Folk Club)
‘We have been scratching our heads trying to think of another English act which is able to offer the same standard of performance!’ (Alan & Maggie, The Barn in Baston)
