Winter/Spring music programme announced

Monday 9th of July 2018

We're starting 2019 as we mean to go on, with a busy programme of music and song.

With so many performances coming up, there's no excuse to be sat at home this season. Come and enjoy performances from across the spectrum of folk music; new songs, old songs and everything in between. Experience folk music where it sounds best, at Cecil Sharp House.
