Folk ensemble Melrose Quartet (Nancy Kerr, James Fagan, Jess & Richard Arrowsmith) return to Kings Place for an evening of festive songs and good cheer.

With their trademark exquisite close harmony and high energy accompaniments on fiddles, melodeon, guitar and bouzouki, Nancy Kerr, James Fagan and Jess & Richard Arrowsmith bring you a wide range of joyous seasonal music from traditional carols to contemporary wassails. You’ll be treated to a selection of the finest rousing village carols from their local Sheffield area alongside new seasonal songs from some of their region’s best writers.

The band will be in the mood to party so there will be dressing up, games with prizes and lots of choruses to join in with, plus an award for the most memorable Christmas jumper. This is a concert with something for everyone and would even draw a smile out of Scrooge! The show will be available after the performance on the band’s latest CD The Rudolph Variations.

‘…all in all an inspired ensemble so obviously playing for joy’ Martin Simpson

The performance will last approximately 2hrs including an interval.
