German Music Night
in Aid of Matha Trust

The Bettesteiner Footstompers, as seen on The Alan Titchmarsh Show, are popular all over the South East and in London and guarantee to get the laughter and dancing flowing.

Big Willy, Otto Gel, Gretel, Stefan, Gisela and Wandering Hans will be playing a selection of foot stomping, thigh slapping German tunes to give this live music event the authentic festive feel.

Tickets cost £25 each and include a Peach Schnapps on arrival, all your drink and food – beer, wine and soft drinks, sausages and live music. Vegetarian option is available, please let us know on your booking form if you require this.

Steve Griffiths (aka Stefan from The Bettesteiner Footstompers) said “We are absolutely delighted to be performing at the event. We all agree that the work Martha Trust does is of immense value to many people, so it is really exciting for us to be able to make our own contribution.

We try to be as traditional and accurate as possible and have numerous stories of how we have convinced Bavarians and Austrians in the audience that we are actually from Germany.
Our whole act is built around the concept that we want our audiences to leave the show feeling that they have had a really fun evening and, ideally, be hoarse from singing so much!"

OYSTERS 3

On a rare tour, the 3 original members of Oysterband open their treasure-chest of music and stories of life on the road as one of the most-travelled bands in the folk world.
Expect great acoustic versions of classic and rare songs with John Jones' characteristic passionate vocals, Alan Prosser's sublime guitar skills and Ian Telfer's soaring fiddle and dry wit.

3 musicians at the top of their game offer an irreverent, insightful glimpse into their world… and some great songs."

Folk in the Barn hosted this show 5 years ago in Canterbury, the original home of Oysterband and it sold out fairly swiftly. Here’s another chance to catch them and in the stunning setting of St Mary

DAPHNE’s FLIGHT

Events at St Marys Arts Centre Sandwich

Five of the finest singer-songwriters of their generation, Daphne’s Flight is a unique and magical blend of individual styles that captivate audiences with complex harmony arrangements, unbridled energy and the infectious joy of performing together.

In 2017, after a 21 year hiatus, Daphne’s Flight re-emerged with their second critically acclaimed studio album “Knows Time, Knows Change”.

'Solid gold standard dream-team music making. A key album of this year already, and nomistake' froots
'Individually they are classy performers, together they are utterly sublime' FRUK

With several more successful tours of the UK and the release of a Live Album in 2018, their Festival performances are among the highlights of every festival they’ve played. 2020 sees the release of their third and most ambitious studio album to date. There’s no holding back now!

In 1995, Christine Collister, Melanie Harrold, Julie Matthews, Helen Watson and Chris While, acclaimed and appreciated for their individual talents as folk, blues, rock and soul singers, found themselves at the Cambridge Festival. They decided to sing some songs together ... magic happened and Daphne's Flight took off. A widely acclaimed eponymous studio album and UK tour followed with a prestigious date at London’s Union Chapel, all of which marked a turning point in the role of women within the English folk movement.
