Wowwweeeee... Chris Wood is coming to Revelation Ashford!

We are delighted to announce that tickets are on sale today (with early bird deals too)!

Saturday 28 March 2026
Chris Wood
www.revelationashford.co.uk

Reflections on minor league football, empty-nest syndrome, learning to swim, Cook-in Sauce and of course, the Gecko as a metaphor for contemporary society!
Tom Robinson and Chris Difford are fans while Stick In The Wheel and The Unthanks look to him as an influence. In a world of soundbites and distractions, Chris Wood is a truth seeker. His writing is permeated with love and wry intelligence, uplifting and challenging as he celebrates the sheer one-thing-after-anotherness of life.

Winner of 6 BBC Folk Awards, he's played with The Royal Shakespeare Company and was a key member of The Imagined Village along with Billy Bragg, Martin and Eliza Carthy. A wise and soulful craftsman, his concerts are a cliche free zone.

John Power – Cast, The La’s, and Me
An Intimate Evening With Singer/Songwriter John Power

John Power had the best rock’n’roll apprenticeship ever - playing bass as an 18-year-old in The La’s. Forming Cast in 1991, he sang, wrote songs, and played guitar for one of Britpop’s pre-eminent bands–securing two platinum-selling records before returning to the charts in 2024 with the magnificent Love Is The Call. Power’s solo career produced some of his best work and through the summer of 2026 Cast joined Oasis at their football stadium tour. Now it’s time to reflect on Britpop, the hits – Alright, Sandstorm, Walkaway, Flying and more – in this intimate show that mixes John’s best-loved songs with wild, funny, and tender stories.

“The most important thing in life is to stop saying, ‘I wish’ and start saying, ‘I will’. Consider nothing impossible, then treat possibilities as probabilities.” (quote from David Copperfield by Charles Dickens)

We hope that you WILL join us for an evening of live theatre with the Great Great Grandson of Charles Dickens. Gerald brings a brilliant witty, insightful and entertaining show, offering a unique glimpse into the struggles, temperament and creative process of a great writer.
