We spent a fantastic day at Whitchurch Folk Festival last weekend and enjoyed some wonderful acoustics for our concert at the Methodist Church. Thanks to everyone who came.🎶 Hats off also to the organisers for creating such a brilliant event and bringing together so many talented performers, musicians and dancers. We were proud to be part of it and already looking forward to next year! Photo credit: Oliver Davis Photography . #folkchoir #whitchurch #folkfestival #whitchurchfolkfestival #concert
🍃I loved it at Whitchurch Folk Festival on Saturday telling my Test Valley Tales to both children and adults, making willow crowns for the Jack in the Green parade, and of course, dancing in the sunshine with @mayflymorris. If you came on Saturday, I'm sure you'll agree it was a fantastic event and the sun shone down to show her appreciation to us all!! Congratulations @whitchurchfolkfestival and @jonwilksmusic for creating such an amazing event and bringing together some of the best in the folky business!🍃💚 . . #folkfestival #folkfest #whitchurchfolkfestival #testvalleytales #testvalleyarts #storytelling #storyteller

Enjoying a busy day at the chapel today. Town is buzzing with everyone enjoying the Folk Festival which is on all day and through til the late evening. Lots of free activities including some fabulous music in various venues around town (all walking distance from each other) if you haven’t already got tickets to some of the bigger gigs and concerts. And don’t forget the parade at 12 which is going to a lovely sight to see on a day like this! Enjoy! ☀️❤️ #whitchurchfolkfestival #vintagehampshire #vintagedecorhampshire #hampshirevintage #dogfriendlyshops #dogfriendly #relovedhampshire #whitchurch_hampshire #whitchurchhampshire #lovewhitchurch #antiqueshampshire #weekendshampshire #whattodoinhampshire #basingstokevintage #antiquebooks #antiqueart #vintagetoys #vintagehome #vintagekitchen #collectibles #vintagejewellery #vintagecollectorshampshire

🌿 #nickhartandtommoore can finally announce a run of shows in May 2024, bringing #thecolourofamber to some new parts of England and Wales to some specially selected venues. 9 MAY - SHEFFIELD @bishopshousesheffield 10 MAY - BRECON @themusebrecon 11 MAY - WHITCHURCH @whitchurchfolkfestival 12 MAY - EXETER @topshamfolk 13 MAY - FALMOUTH @cornishbank 15 MAY - CHICHESTER @havana_chichester 16 MAY - ST. LEONARDS #crownhouse After many years of collaborating in various guises, Nick Hart and Tom Moore are finally on the road as a duo. Both renowned interpreters of English traditional music, Tom’s playing has been described as “ingenious” (The Guardian) and “irresistible” (The Independent), while Nick has been called “...probably the finest interpreter of traditional English folk songs this generation has produced...” (tradfolk.co). The unusual combination of Tom’s viola and Nick’s tenor viol creates a rich set of textures with which they explore a variety of traditional songs and tunes. The result is “an absorbing expression of English music by two master players”. 2023 Saw the release of their first LP, ‘The Colour of Amber’, which quickly garnered much critical acclaim and featured in many top ten lists for the year, being described as “An inspired pairing of two musicians at the top of their game.” (Folk London) and “...head and shoulders above just about any English traditional album of the last few years” (FRUK). Nick and Tom will also be doing a run of festival appearances a little later in the year, including a couple of trips over to Ireland 🇮🇪 for some very exciting shows. All will be revealed!

🌻calling our (English based) folk loving friends! 🌻 Join us on Saturday 11 May 2024 for this brand new festival @whitchurchfolkfestival (North Hampshire). A note from the festival: “The seed for this relaunch was planted by local folk musicians, Paul Sartin and Jon Wilks, who breathed new life into the Whitchurch Folk Club in 2017. Tragically, we lost Paul in 2022, a profound loss felt deeply by the community. In honor of his legacy, Paul’s friends and family united to turn the dream of a revived folk festival into a reality.” As you can tell it’s a really special event and it’s going to be a loving celebration of community. We can’t wait to be amongst a great folky line up. Thank you so much @whitchurchfolkfestival for inviting us to be a part of it. Look at this line up! Jackie Oates Trio – Nick Hart & Tom Moore – Magpie Lane – Sam Sweeney and Louis Campbell – Frankie Archer – James Delarre & Saul Rose – Benji Kirkpatrick – The Norfolk Broads – Maddie Morris – Coracle – Miranda Rutter & Rob Harbron – Good Habits – Patakas – Anna Tabbush Trio – Boss Morris – Winchester Morris Men – Bampton Morris – Mayfly Morris – Jigfoot – Out of Hand #whitchurchfolkfest #whitchurchfolkfestival
