The Churchfitters is a folk band like no other. These three flamboyant characters present their uplifting and enormously entertaining show with a unique dynamism and describe their music as “Folk Unlimited”. Mike Harding calls it “Brilliant and beautiful” while Dave Pegg says they are “The most musically inventive group I’ve seen in decades”. The three virtuoso musicians from England and France strut their stuff on a stage that bristles with conventional instruments and many more unique ones –an electric ‘hub-cap’ bass-bouzouki, double bass made from a saucepan and a ‘bing-bong’ machine made out of hack-saw blades. Tickets £15 (£7.50 under 18).
