Maddy Prior's Stepping Stones Festival

17/09/2024

Just about one month to go until this event. It may be a little further to traval that my events at Wark Town Hall.

However, it is an equally good hall and we have the same excellent sound and lighting man and if you saw this trio from a year ago then you know that you will be in for a treat.

Message me to have your seat reserved then just pay in cash on the night when you arrive :)

Only one month to go until my next event at Wark Town Hall on Saturday 13th July - Doors 7.00pm.

I have two special guests who are both quite excellent but very different:-

Chris James - he has been on the scene for as long as I can remember. Certainly we have gigged together from the 1990s. He is without doubt one of the finest blues and ragtime guitarists in the north of the UK. Expect spectacular guitar playing and some bottleneck thrown in as he plays some classics by the ragtime and blues masters of the 1920 & 30s.

Wild Sparrow - is a female harmony duo from North Cumbria. They are Alison Watson and Sheila Cassidy and they sing a mix of contemporary and traditional folk, roots and Americana songs. They have been steadily getting noticed on the scene in Cumbria and recently wowed the audience at Maddy Prior's Forgotten Lands Festival. Expect beautiful melodies and haunting harmonies.

It is an all cash event. Also bring cash for drinks and the raffle - there is always a raffle.

Please spread the word.

Tickets £10 - Reservation essential - to reserve tickets simply message me by email or facebook and your name will be on seats when you arrive - then pay cash on the door.

Doors 7.00pm
