Keith Donnelly + Jon Taylor @ St. Bartholomew’s Church Hall

An evening of song, music and comedy with Keith Donnelly.
For those of you who came to The French Evening With Flossie, Keith joined Flossie for a few songs, and an amazing evening awaits with this concert. I’m sure Keith won’t mind me saying that he is one of the most popular, and, yes slightly crazy figures in the folk world. Have a look at his website – keithdonnelly.weebly.com
Tickets are £10 each.The evening will also include support from our very own Jon Taylor, and nibbles will be included.

Residing in Warwickshire, Lauren South is an accomplished singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist renowned for her original compositions and traditional melodies.

With the accompaniment of tenor guitar, fiddle, and shruti box, her songs exude heartfelt emotion and vivid imagery, drawing inspiration from her passion for the nocturnal heavens, the natural world, and her journey through motherhood.

Lauren’s debut solo album, Tiny Boat, was released in November 2023 to critical acclaim, with the title track featuring on FATEA’s Spring Showcase 2024.

Beyond her solo endeavours, Lauren is an enthusiastic collaborator and constitutes half of the dynamic duo, Donnelly & South, alongside Keith Donnelly.
