And the best thing? She's one of her own – yes, this outstanding talent is Manchester born and bred. Come along and see Emma with cellist, Ben Cashell, and multi instrumentalist, Jack Rutter.

We're delighted to be welcoming incredi-fiddler, Tom Kitching, back to The Village – but with the addition of regular collaborator, Jon Loomes.

 

You may have heard Tom's recent album, Interloper, which is a fascinating foray into English fiddle – as you've probably never heard it before! Reviews have been very forthcoming: The Sunday Express deemed it their Album of the week and awarded it five stars. Not bad!

As ever, we'd welcome floor singers, instrumentalists, dancers, poets... just let us know you'd like to do a turn on the way in. And don't forget your pennies for the raffle!
