THE ever-popular local musical hero, John Kirkpatrick, returns with his very special Christmas show, Carolling and Crumpets to take the audience on a musical journey through the bizarre traditional rituals found in the folklore and folk music of England at Midwinter.
Peeling away the commercial gloss of modern Christmas he reveals magical songs of wassailing, wren-hunting, stirring the fire, and incessant feasting, all dressed up in a glittering finery of toe-tapping tunes and cracking choruses. Add to the mixture a light-hearted smattering of hilarious original songs, a sprinkling of carols both familiar and unfamiliar delivered by the squeeze box master, and you have an unbeatable recipe for a rattling good time, guaranteed to keep the spirits cheery and the cold at bay.John Kirkpatrick presents Carolling and Crumpets at St Leonards Church, Yarpole on Friday, December 11 at 7.30pm.
