Two more concerts coming up at Hollingwood Hub

Following the successful concerts that we had in October and December at Hollingwood Hub, we have two more coming up in March.

On Wednesday 7th March, we have Hérétique who are three talented young Englishmen with a passion for European traditional music. The band is an energetic mix of vocals, accordion, bagpipes, hurdy gurdy, guitar and recorder. Their music is an exciting blend of Anglo-French traditional dance, with a smidgeon of jazz and contemporary classical, and a healthy dollop of pop culture, film and TV references on the side.

On Wednesday 21st March, we have Simon Mayor and Hilary James. Simon is one of the world's leading mandolin virtuosos and composers, as well as a fine fiddle player and guitarist. Hilary has "one of Britain's finest voices" (BBC Radio 4) as well as an unusual taste in bass instruments - her Mandobass is a real showstopper.

Both shows start at 7.30 p.m. Nona's Coffee Shop will be open from 6.30 p.m. There is onsite parking.

All tickets cost £8.
