Rare concert by John Kirkpatrick, Sue Harris and Benji Kirkpatrick

Event information

JOHN KIRKPATRICK & SUE HARRIS
With BENJI KIRKPATRICK

John & Sue met in 1970, married in 1971, and began making music together as a duo on the English Folk Scene and beyond. In 1973 they moved to Shropshire, and went on to produce four sons (Benji is Number Two), five LPs, and two Morris Teams, and spent time in Dingle’s Chillybom Band, The Albion Country Band, Umps & Dumps, and The Richard Thompson Band. They provided music, song, and dance for numerous plays in the theatre and on radio, but gradually worked together less and less, until a final appearance in 1992.

Thirty-two years later they have joined forces again for the occasional gig, usually with Benji, who has been striding out in his own right as a soloist and as a member of Bellowhead, Faustus, and The Seth Lakeman Band.

You’ll hear large chunks of their old repertoire, along with a few new compositions and arrangements, solo spots from Benji, and several numbers with all three playing together.

The Arts Hub well stocked bar will be open at 7.00pm, hall at 7.20 and music at 7.45.
This will be an all seated event in this intimate venue
