FOR a stunning one-off collaboration, five of the English folk scene’s most inventive artists bring you Awake Arise –

A Christmas Show For Our Times at The Other Place in Stratford-upon-Avon, on December 16.

The show is a “celebration of the riches of our varied winter traditions and reflecting

upon the hope and resilience in music and song that can bring joy to us all in the darkest

season.

“Award winning trio Lady Maisery, otherwise known as Hannah James, Rowan Rheingans and Hazel Askew have for nearly a decade produced some of the most exquisite, thrilling vocal harmony work in the English folk scene.

“And with them will be the beguiling musical partnership of Jimmy Aldridge and Sid Goldsmith, who complete the powerful line-up, bringing the outstanding vocals, sensitive instrumentation and powerful social conscience that has won them widespread critical acclaim.”
