A festive Feast of folk

NETTLEBED Folk Club is promising not one but two Christmas shows this year.

The first is on Monday and features St Agnes Fountain. The group have been together for 18 years and know all about the season: Last year they released 25/12, an album of new versions of classic Christmas carols and original compositions.

There are only has a few seats left for this show, so if you’re keen to get into the festive spirit, be quick to book.

And the following week, Monday, December 17, the club will welcome the return of Belshazzar’s

Feast. Organisers say that this really will be a special Christmas Show as it features one the members of Bellowhead – Paul Sartin – teaming up with Paul Hutchinson to create the duo Belshazzar's Feast.

The result is their unique take on Christmas songs and it will be a show full of comedy and carols.

This will be the last for this season of folk concerts at Nettlebed. The club returns on Monday, January 21, with a performance from The Bully Wee Band which includes Ian Cutler from the Folk Super Band – Feast Of Fiddles.

Also that night the club’s patron – Phil Beer from Show of Hands – will take time out from his busy touring schedule to be the support act.

The shows are at 8pm in Nettlebed Village Club in the village’s High Street.
