Calling all Chew Valley musicians!

Dust off that guitar, banjo or whatever you play – or sing, and share your talents in front of a really supportive audience; solos, duos, small groups – all genres, instruments and voices welcome, learners or pros.

Funny and poignant, a one-man show combining original storytelling with an inventive spirit.

Weaving together the tragi-comic fate of a family heirloom – a porcelain figure of The Duke of Wellington, the quandary of a scriptwriter stretching his integrity and an unfolding disaster as thousands of children flee their homes. Blending fantasy and reality, this playful show gently challenges our priorities in a world full of crisis.

Come and jam with our Valley Arts House Band.

Audience, singers and instrumentalists all equally welcome. Performers can join front line or rhythm section. Play solo or with a friend or two, the trio will get behind you.
