THE CHARLOTTE CARRIVICK BAND
With a shared passion for modern bluegrass, The Charlotte Carrivick Band brings together four of the most exciting musicians in the UK today. Charlotte Carrivick is a flatpicking guitarist of international renown, sought for her inventive lead playing and regarded as an expert fiddle tune interpreter on the guitar. Joining Charlotte is long time collaborator and in-demand fiddler, Kieran Towers (Pet Yeti); master of tone and taste, Evan Davies, on the mandolin (The Often Herd); and the firm hand of fellow Midnight Skyracer bassist, Eleanor Wilkie. Together, their music is at times joyous, poignant, dark, pensive or exuberant with virtuosic instrumentals and close harmony singing.
'Formidable multi-instrumental skills’ (Q Magazine)

WEDNESDAY 10th DECEMBER JOHN KIRKPATRICK
John Kirkpatrick will be returning to present ‘Carolling and Crumpets’, his heart-warming Christmas show which explores the timeless rituals and folklore of midwinter England. Mysterious and magical songs of wassailing, wren-hunting, stirring the fire and incessant feasting come dressed up in a glittering finery of toe-tapping tunes and cracking choruses. Add a smattering of hilarious original songs and a sprinkling of carols both familiar and unfamiliar, all stirred up with John’s usual panache and supported by his scintillating skill on squeezeboxes, and you have the recipe for a rattling good sing, guaranteed to keep the spirits cheery and the cold at bay.
'JK delivers all the boisterous bonhomie and seasonal good cheer anyone could want’ (Joan Crump, English Dance & Song)
‘The inventiveness and dynamism of John's playing are just as top-notch as one has come to expect of such a perfectionist’ (Mike Greenwood, Taplas)
