Many of you will have attended the Albion Christmas Concert at Manor School in 2017 or “Christmas with Bella Hardy” at Ringstead Shared Church last December, a wonderful night out.
This year the Raunds Music Festival Committee continue this tradition bringing the amazing John Kirkpatrick, one of the most prolific figures on the English folk scene. His CV is quite amazing; he has been a member of the Albion Country Band, Magic Lantern, The Richard Thompson Band, Steeleye Span, and Band of Hope.

Taking its title from John’s unforgettable song telling the Nativity story from the point of view of the animals in the stable, this show is a heart-warming look at the timeless rituals found in the folklore and folk music of England at Midwinter. John peels away the commercial gloss of modern Christmas to reveal the powerful pagan urges that race through us all at this time of year, and the life and death struggle that is symbolised in so many traditional songs and customs.
‘John delivers all the boisterous bonhomie and seasonal good cheer anyone could want’ (English Dance & Song)
