Donnelly & South’s Christmas Cracker+ Phil Benson @ Atherstone Folk Club
Dec 18 @ 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm

We offer Donnelly and South’s Christmas Cracker – a Christmas show with some crazy bits, a sackful of their singalong, wintry-wonderful songs. The best Christmas-Duo-Show this side of Morecambe & Bublé!

A stocking-load of Keith’s hilarious seasonal anecdotes and jokes.

The gift of a couple of scary solstice ghost stories.

Pour on lashings of Lauren’s, silky-smooth, brandy-butter vocals. All wrapped up with fantastic festive guitars and yummy Yuletide fiddles.

The most fun you can have without shinning down someone’s chimney! 2024 will be its second year. It was super-successful in 2023.

‘I have the best job in the world, I get to reminisce with people I don’t know, about things that never even happened!’ (Keith Donnelly)

Only two floor-spots available! Just email Phil Benson and ask.
