Britain's What's On Event Guide
Grayshott Folk Club's Christmas Special with: ST. AGNES' FOUNTAIN
We always strive to get the very best seasonal and festive entertainment we can afford and this year, we've really pushed the boat out. After years of hoping they'd play at Grayshott, we've finally persuaded St. Agnes' Fountain to include us on their annual Christmas Tour.
This will be their twenty-second year of taking their sell out Christmas show, around the country.
Featuring:
Fairport Convention's Chris Leslie, with Chris While and Julie Matthews (Daphne's Flight, While & Matthews).
St. Agnes’ Fountain’s latest album, Night Of A Million Stars was released in time for the December 2021 tour with 9 brand new songs from the band.
Although their albums accompany the putting up of a thousand Christmas trees throughout Britain and around the globe as their reputation reaches further afield, it is, without question, their magical live performances that have endeared them to an ever-growing audience (tickets were again being sold for this year's tour as the curtain fell last year).
Chris While and Julie Matthews
Chris While vocals, guitar, bodhran, dulcimer, banjo, darbuka and percussion.
Julie Matthews vocals, piano, guitar, acordion and gazouki
The duo have been nominated ten times in the BBC Folk Awards in the 'Best Song' 'Best Duo' and 'Best Live Act' categories and won Best Duo in 2009. In 2019 they celebrated 25 years of making music together. As the longest lasting female duo in the country there was a brand new album and an extensive tour of the UK to celebrate as well as numerous summer festival performances.
Chris and Julie are more powerful and popular than ever in their 27th year as a duo and remain at the very top of their game.
Chris Leslie
Chris Leslie is a multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter from Oxfordshire UK.
Primarily known for the past 20 years for his live work and recording with Fairport Convention and many other top musicians.
