SUMMARY:15 November: Elizabeth Jane Baldry @3PM
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome the return of the highly accomplished local harpist Elizabeth-Jane Baldry\, for what will be an enchanting concert. As a recitalist\, she is well-known for her warm and approachable presentation style. The Bath Chronicle said of her: “It is hard to say just which was more pleasurable – the exquisite playing or the often deliciously outrageous stories of composers’ lives that Elizabeth Jane recounted in between the music.” She performs both nationally and internationally\, giving around eighty performances a year from recitals in historic houses or specialist arts cruises to weddings and funerals. She has performed to sold-out audiences in the USA\, Italy and France.     \nElizabeth-Jane fell in love with the harp as a little girl whilst reading fairy-tales in which the harp possessed magical powers! She grew up to study at Exeter University and the Royal College of Music\, and has been a full-time professional musician for over thirty years. As well as performing recitals\, she is the only specialist silent movie harpist in the world\, playing live to cinema screenings of early film\, and has won multiple awards for her silent film accompaniments and compositions. Her uniquely rich tone on the harp has graced film and TV soundtracks screened in over thirty countries including Canada\, Iceland\, Kenya\, Iran and South Africa. Her compositions have been used by ITV\, the BBC and by Irish\, Japanese\, Danish and Canadian film\, radio and television. \nA life-long lover of nature\, Elizabeth-Jane lives in the Dartmoor National Park. In her spare time\, she loves growing trees and creating a magical woodland where she can brew tea in a twig kettle\, keep bees and listen to birdsong. Sometimes she gets up on Sunday mornings early enough to sing in the church choir. Her tiny granite cottage is full of music\, books and harps\, and the kettle is always on for friends.  \n“She is a great artist and consummate performer. She can draw more tone colours out of the instrument than any other harpist living in the world today.” David Watkins\, Professor of Harp\, Guildhall School of Music \nHere is a taster: https://youtu.be/XgcPT3ZR2JM?si=7pNtngm_kCm4qZyH

SUMMARY:20 November: Granny`s Attic
DESCRIPTION:With exceptional musicianship and boundless energy\, Granny’s Attic are going from strength to strength. Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne (melodeon\, anglo concertina\, vocals)\, George Sansome (guitar\, vocals) and Lewis Wood (violin\, vocals) have honed their skills touring the UK and Europe since 2009. They are much loved by audiences up and down the country\, with bookings everywhere from Cambridge Folk Festival to Cecil Sharp House.  \nThe trio have been heralded for their lively performances and skilled delivery of traditional material\, playing with verve\, energy and their own inimitable style. Though grounded in tradition\, they are keen to push new boundaries by exploring fresh approaches and writing their own compositions. In October 2021\, they released The Brickfields\, an instrumental collection that saw them reach new heights as both composers and performers. This was followed up in 2025 by Cold Blows the Wind\, an album of largely traditional material which went down a storm with reviewers and audiences alike.  \nDescribed by KLOF Magazine as “one of the most exciting and accomplished English folk acts on the scene right now”\, this outstanding trio can hold audiences in the palm of their hand. \nQUOTES \n“Their high-octane take on English folk has brought a whole new audience to the genre” \nThe Irish Times \n“They’re very well established now amongst the top English trad players in the country.” \nMARK RADCLIFFE\, BBC RADIO 2 \n“Great tunes\, great energy\, great arrangements\, great stuff!” \nJon Boden \n“Astounding” \nMartin Carthy \nREVIEWS FOR COLD BLOWS THE WIND \n“Granny’s Attic are a class act and this fourth album shows them at their best.” \nIRISH MUSIC MAGAZINE \n“In recording these songs and tunes\, Granny’s Attic have made them come alive for today’s audiences. Every lover of traditional music will enjoy this album.” \nFOLK LONDON \nLINKS \nWebsite – www.grannysattic.org.uk  \nFacebook – www.facebook.com/grannysatticfolk  \nInstagram – www.instagram.com/grannysatticfolk  \nYouTube – www.youtube.com/user/grannysatticfolk  \n  \n

SUMMARY:6 December: Musica Medievalis
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a magical afternoon and experience the rich tapestry of music that filled the air centuries ago\, from haunting melodies to lively dances. Marco Cannavo\, Steve Tyler and Katy Marchant present an instrumental journey into the music of medieval Europe\, spanning the 12th to 15th centuries. Featuring historical musical instruments such as hurdy-gurdy and its early predecessors\, bagpipes\, harp\, lute\, citole\, portative organ\, and percussions\, the concert explores rhythms and melodies from both sacred and secular traditions\, interpreted with imaginative freedom while remaining rooted in historical sources. Much of the music would have been heard in churches during Christmas and other religious celebrations\, while the livelier tunes would have been played at seasonal gatherings and communal festivities. Harken thou to the melody!  \nMarco Cannavò is a hurdy-gurdy player and multi-instrumentalist dedicated to medieval and traditional music. Having studied with and mentored by Steve Tyler they now collaborate on projects exploring the music of medieval Europe with performances throughout the UK. Deeply connected to his Southern Italian heritage\, the tambourine holds a central place in Marco’s musical identity and in the traditions of Southern Italy.  \nSteve Tyler is a renowned hurdy-gurdy player. For many years a performer of medieval music\, his main interest is in patterns and rhythms and the resulting interweaving of different instruments\, inspired by patterns in nature\, mathematics and the imagination. He has performed with such diverse artists as English folk singer Jackie Oates\, German industrial/electronic musician F.M. Einheit and South African puppeteer John Roberts.  \nKaty Marchant is a musician and mask maker and was the founder and director of ‘Daughters of Elvin: A Medieval Music and Dance Theatre Company’. In 2012 Katy and Steve formed the band Woodwose\, a quartet specialising in medieval music and balfolk\, and writing their own compositions for bagpipes and hurdy-gurdy. With Steve\, Katy has performed throughout Britain\, Ireland\, Europe and Scandinavia.  \nPre-Concert Workshop: 11:00AM  \nPrior to the afternoon concert why not join Marco\, Steve and Katy for an interactive and family-friendly Medieval Music Workshop at the Old Chapel!  \nIn this relaxed session\, get up close and personal with a range of beautiful medieval instruments that will feature in the afternoon concert. Learn how their unique sounds are produced and how they were played in medieval times. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and see the instruments up close. For those interested\, some of the instruments may be available to try out under supervision (though not all instruments can be handled). This workshop is perfect for everyone\, including families (children should be accompanied by a parent or guardian). School groups are warmly invited to join. A wonderful way to dive into medieval music and explore its rich sounds and traditions before going to the afternoon concert. Come and enjoy this unique experience!  \nTicket prices for the workshop together with the ticket link will be added soon \nHave a listen:  \nhttps://youtu.be/JyqKrJ9mtG0?si=BRpNfk08KrGU3zX9 \nhttps://youtu.be/YbkNIvEC7vg?si=1VyHtnX7_q28ueBj

SUMMARY:23 January: Sarah McQuaid
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter in a tradition that spans cultures and genres with peerless musicianship. \nSarah McQuaid’s lush\, velvety voice combines with her engaging personality and “brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars\, keyboards and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience. Her live performances are full of warmth\, wit\, and intimacy\, and have earned her loyal followings on both sides of the Atlantic.  \nBorn in Spain\, raised in Chicago\, holding dual Irish and American citizenship and now settled in rural England\, she brings the eclecticism of her background to her “captivating\, unorthodox songwriting” (PopMatters) and choice of material. From contemplative ballads to playful blues to atmospheric instrumentals\, Sarah’s music invites reflection\, connection\, and a deep appreciation of the quiet power of a well-crafted song. \nIn the words of one audience member: “Sarah is a truly impressive artist who takes you on a journey through storytelling\, blending a variety of musical genres and instruments with ease and creativity. Her lyrics are down-to-earth yet incredibly captivating. Attending her concert feels like diving into a book of short stories — some resonate deeply\, some spark your imagination\, others make you pause and reflect\, and a few bring tears or spontaneous laughter. Sarah’s connection with the audience is both gentle and profound. You don’t  just watch a performance — you become part of it\, part of the story she’s telling. … To anyone considering seeing her live: go. It’s worth every second. You’ll leave with your heart full and your soul touched — guaranteed.”
