A simply exceptional weekend of music coming up in Evesham — we're bringing five acts to the town, across three nights.
— Friday 26th June, 9pm at The Red Lion —
The Neirin Duo. Drew and Marie are great friends of the pub (and also to many people in Evesham), and they're bringing their funky, soulful, blues sound for a very cool evening of superb music.
— Saturday 27th June, 7pm at Wallace House —
We begin with Jessica Law & The Outlaws who "would probably get laughed off the X-Factor for not sounding exactly the same as everybody else" (Nightshift Magazine) and that on its own is good enough for us. They're an alternative folk band specialising in witty, dramatic original songs with a strong storytelling element.
Then we welcome Chris Dent, of Albi & The Wolves, on a solo tour from New Zealand. Winner of Best Folk Artist at the New Zealand Folk Awards, Chris brings high-energy folk mixed with intimate and reflective moments to create rich acoustic textures and emotionally charged performances.
Absolutely a night not to miss. Tickets are £10, on the door or in advance from https://redlionevesham.co.uk/event/chris-dent-albi-the-wolves/ (or pop into the pub).
— Sunday 28th June, 4pm at The Red Lion —
To round off the weekend, we present James Slater, a consummate and deservedly-respected artist. He plays genres you might not even have heard of, from contemporary folk, alt-country, swampy blues, to red dirt. You'll have to ask him about it.
He'll be followed by more great friends of the pub, Guy & Cathy Mansfield Smith. Guy's lilting burr, cleverly-crafted lyrics, and intricate guitar and mandolin playing are the perfect compliment to Cathy's superb bass skills.
The temperatures are dropping, but the music is certainly heating up... see you over the weekend.
