We’ve been wanting to feature The Shackleton Trio for quite some time, and the stars have finally aligned as they headline our concert on Friday 17 October.
The trio features Georgia Shackleton (fiddle, vocals), Aaren Bennett (guitar) and Nic Zuppardi (mandolin and banjo). Collectively the band draw influence from British, American and Scandinavian folk traditions, whilst Georgia’s flair for sourcing largely unsung material from East Anglia keeps the band firmly rooted in their local tradition.
In support will be The Ashen Keys, a multi instrumental, multi voiced celebration of heartfelt storytelling from Kent. Their sound tells of influences from folk, blues, pop, classical and even early music. Expect to be taken on a journey through dark folk tales, bittersweet love stories and reveries on nature, all with exquisite vocal harmonies and unique instrumentation.
The will take place at Christ Church Downend as usual, and seating is unreserved. Tickets are £14 in advance (£16 on the door) and are available online via the website, and from Melanie's Kitchen in Downend. Please note that Melanie's Kitchen can only take cash payments.
There is also the option to buy a season ticket for all four concerts for £50, which saves a few pounds as well as booking fees. All tickets are non-refundable.
There will be a full bar at all concerts, as well as a prize draw, all proceeds of which go towards booking our support artists. Doors open at 7.00pm for a 7.45pm start.
