Mark Waistell is a singer-songwriter, who is also a Quaker. His songs have been described in the media as “charismatic”, his fingerpicking guitar technique as “sophisticated” and his voice as “clement and serene as a dappled water meadow.”

In this concert, Mark will illustrate some of the basics of Quakerism -and how they apply to life- with a bucketful of his songs.

Come and find out about Quakerism. Come and meet a Quaker! Or just come and listen to some songs which may make you think or may make you feel.

This event is organised by Central England Quakers supported by Birmingham Churches Together.
