19th February – Rapsquillion & Patrick Gambles
Festival regulars Rapsquillion will once again be starting their new season with a concert in The Town Hall. Glad to be on home territory once again after a 2024 which saw them travelling the length and breadth of the UK, bombarding festival audiences and folk club members with their eclectic collection of songs, tunes and general fun. Described by one organiser as “an a cappella group who all play instruments, singing traditional music which is sometimes very out of the way!”
Patrick Gambles: An award-winning singer songwriter who cut his teeth on the Northern UK folk club circuit as a teenager in the mid-1970s. Fine original material with quality vocals, guitar and banjo. Folk roots with a contemporary, country edge. Patrick has recently relocated to South Shropshire after living and performing in Australia for many years.

7th March 2025 – The Carrivick Sisters in concert
One thing that is always evident at a Carrivick Sisters performance is their joy in playing together, in singing in close harmony and in delighting an audience. Twin sisters Charlotte and Laura Carrivick have grown up playing music together, and at a live show the stage becomes an extension of their kitchen; welcoming you into a warm, musical embrace while cooking up delicious melodies and tasty instrumentals. The sisters draw inspiration from their passion for traditional American old time and bluegrass music, English folklore and the wide variety of instruments they play: guitars, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and dobro.
Door open 7.30pm for 8.00pm start

A Horizon Folk Award nominee, Rosie Hood is known for her powerful, clear vocals and captivating performances combining poetic writing with honest interpretations of traditional English songs. In her ‘Classy’ (MOJO) 4-piece, Rosie is joined by fiddle-player Nicola Beazley, melodeon-player & percussionist Robyn Wallace and fiddle-player Rosie Butler-Hall. The instrumentalists bring dynamic lift and drive, expanding Rosie’s vision to re-work traditional songs and bring unheard stories to life. ‘To me, the story is always the most important thing, that’s the ‘Seed Of Gold’ within a song’ explains Rosie. The band released their debut album, Seed of Gold, in November 2023.

14th June 2025 – Three Legg’d Mare concert
Back by popular demand.
Kate, Daf and Jon take great delight in singing traditional songs – and some of their own – in Welsh and English. For some years now they have immersed themselves and their audiences in songs of love, loss, joy, desire, sadness, adventure, madness, salvation and everyday life. A journey through physical and metaphysical worlds, history set to music, a rabble-rousing session, an irreverent insight into past lives – Three Legg’d Mare is all of these and more, woven together by dexterous vocal harmonies and far too many quirky instruments to mention.
Door open 7.30pm for 8.00pm start
Tickets £10 from the Town Hall or online at www.ticketsource.co.uk/BCTH

Door open 7.30pm for 8.00pm start
Tickets £12 from the Town Hall or online at www.ticketsource.co.uk/BCTH
“One of the most instantly recognisable voices in current music.” —Trust The Doc
Sarah McQuaid’s lush, chocolatey voice combines with her engaging personality, “subtle mastery onstage” (Huffington Post) and “brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars, piano and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience.
Born 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, spanning genres and defying categorisation.
