Our concert from 1 - 2pm on Saturday 26 April 2025, was to have been Alba Challah, who unfortunately have had to cancel. We're beyond delighted to welcome trad and rock musicians, Fiona Cuthill on fiddle and Stevie Lawrence on acoustic guitar and bouzouki. Having appeared in festivals and gigs all over Europe, they describe their music as contemporary self-penned tunes on fiddle and guitar/bouzouki with a touch of rock attitude thrown in for good measure. I was blown away by them when I saw them in Websters Theatre last December, and am delighted that they're available to come to us at the Spire. Highly talented and entertaining.
Tickets £10 cash at door from 12 noon, free refreshments pre-concert.
