Live Music - Harp & a Monkey

Acclaimed song & storytelling trio Harp & a Monkey return to Baslow Village Hall on 31 May for another superb performance of folk songs & storytelling.

Martin Purdy (vocals, glockenspiel, accordion, harmonica and keyboards), Simon Jones (harp, guitar, viola) and Andy Smith (banjo, melodica, guitar and programming) are imbued with a deep Lancashire sensibility that shines through in their beautifully crafted vignettes of life, love and remembrance.

A complete sell out in October 2023, we couldn’t be happier to have them back.
