Potteries Folk Club | Fenton Town Hall | Fri 12 Dec

Potteries Folk Club presents John Kirkpatrick's Carolling & Crumpet Christmas Show this Friday at Fenton Town Hall. 

Potteries Folk Club said: "Out in the wide world John has contributed music, song, and dance to a great number of plays in the theatre, and to a lesser extent radio, television, and film.

"As a virtuoso session player his squeezeboxes can be heard on hundreds of recordings, and as a creator of new work in all these fields he has established an enviable reputation.

"But on his own live gigs you're more likely to see him in his natural habitat pursuing his first love - traditional English music and song."

Doors open 7:15pm for a 7:45pm start with floorsingers and the main guest thereafter. Tickets are available on Eventbrite.
