About this event
For many people a firm fixture of the festive period, the combination of Steeleye Span’s Maddy Prior and The Carnival Band has offered a unique take on timeless Christmas music ever since they first came together in 1984.
The pairing resulted not only in the acclaimed album 'Carols & Capers' and many more, but a concert experience like no other.
To mark the 40th anniversary of their artistic relationship, Maddy and The Carnival Band will tour the UK in what will be not only a celebration but also a farewell, the last time they will undertake such an outing.
Together they will mix ancient and modern instruments and rich vocal harmony with a refreshing cavalier attitude and plenty of humour - putting their inimitable stamp on a range of familiar and not-so-familiar festive fare.
This guarantees to be a Christmas Party to remember - a celebration of a unique partnership.
Starts: 7.30pm
Tickets: £29.50, £27.50
