Named as one of the Top Ten Folk Voices of the Century, a Mercury Prize Winner, and a 6 times BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Winner, Kate Rusby needs little introduction. If you’ve never seen her live, expect a warm Yorkshire sense of humour in addition to distinctive vocals and musical accompaniment from her talented band.

(included in Week & Friday Day Season tickets) £27 Adult Advance, £22 Adult Advance Local Resident Discount, £10 25 & Under (12-25), £0 Child (0-11)

Described by the Independent as ‘defiant, robust, northern, poetical, political folk music for the times we live in.’, O’Hooley & Tidow require little further introduction. Known for their exceptional songwriting and close harmonies, they were gracing festival stages long before they were thrust into the limelight for penning the theme tune to TV drama, Gentleman Jack. We look forward to welcoming them back.

Folk singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Angeline Morrison is joined by Cohen BraithwaiteKilcoyne, Hamilton Gross and Clarke Camilleri, bringing us music from their award winning album, ‘The Sorrow Songs:
Folk Songs of Black British Experience’.
