DOORS OPEN 7.30pm. ADMISSION: £5 CASH ON THE DOOR. CASH BAR before the 8pm start & pre-order interval drinks.
Join us for some soul-stirring winter cheer : lively world folk from the Hebble trio & seasonal poems from the Wharfedale Poets.
Hebble are probably the only trio in the world with a Greek bouzouki, cello and bodhran. Lively world folk - upbeat and interactive with twists of the alternative, and plenty of three-part harmonies. Get ready for catchy choruses, belting rhythms, and tunes to make the heart sing!
Hebble play English, Czech, Polish, Irish, Scottish, and Appalachian folk music and they have a handful of original songs inspired by Yorkshire myth and landscape. Upbeat and alternative with twists of jazz, and plenty of three-part harmonies.
"A great trio. Wonderful harmony singing. Virtuosic instrumental music underpinned by top percussion. A must to see and hear." TOM MCCONVILLE, BBC folk musician of the year.
"Hebble have a unique and refreshing instrument line-up and all play with great skill, energy and passion. Impressive instrumental and vocal arrangements, and brilliant audience participation for all to enjoy."​ STEVE NOON, Eagle Music
The Wharfedale Poets are no strangers to The Purple Room. Poets Mike Farren, Colin Speakman, Emma Storr, Sue Butler, Lesley Quayle and Mandy Sutter will be sharing thoughtful and challenging words to conjure up the spirit of Christmas, and to dispel the darkness of the coming winter, sending us out into the night with warmth and hope in our hearts!
