There is a feast of events in the run-up to the festive season, in addition to the usual activities at Kirton in Lindsey Town Hall.
Maire Ni Chathasaigh and Chris Newman
Saturday 12th November, 7.30pm to 10.00pm
This will be a great night with two musicians of international renown. Maire is described as the ‘doyenne of Irish harpists’ and Chris as ‘one of the UK’s most staggering and influential guitarists’.
The Kirton in Lindsey Entertainment Organisation (KLEO) is bringing the event to the town, supported by North Lincolnshire’s Rural Touring scheme LIVELINCS, meaning that the Town Hall can offer top-quality entertainment which would normally be way out of its price range so do go along for a very special evening. Expect a breath-taking blend of traditional Irish music, hot jazz, bluegrass and baroque, spiced with striking new compositions.
Tickets cost £8.00 (£6.00 concession) from Martin on 01652 648435 or m.hollingsworth205@btinternet.com, or from Londis (Market Place) or on the door.
Another Winter’s Tale: A ghostly play with live music
Tuesday 15th November, 7.30pm
In the darkest of winters comes the brightest of tales. Two characters, eternally on the run, but from whom or what? Sheltering from the storm outside, they share tales of distant times and places, awaiting…. Will the past catch up with them before the clock strikes?
The show is produced in partnership with Shoot First Theatre and their amazing puppets.
A show for all audiences (8+) and a journey through the shortest days, with tales of deepest winter from Japan and across Europe, as well as those from nearer to home. The stories and songs could not be more diverse: from the joyful to the dark, the new and the familiar, all performed by the company of travelling strangers.
Tickets cost £12.00 for adults and £7.00 for under-18s, and are available from www.dogwoodproductions.co.uk, admin@dogwoodproductions.co.uk or 07720 882530.
