Katie Grace Harris is a gifted multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter and storyteller with a fast growing reputation in the UK folk world. Her sound can best be described as earthy, piano and accordion accompanied English Folk. Her debut album 'The Toledo Sessions' is released this Autumn, and she will be playing songs from it at this special intimate concert.

Katie explains the story behind the Toledo Sessions:

"For much of my childhood, we drove around as a family of four in an inherited, dark blue Triumph Toledo, with Nan and Grandad often squeezed in too for good measure.

"It had a wooden dashboard, leather seats, analogue dials, an actual choke (remember them?) as well as a LOT of rust!

"It was a special car because in it I gained my love for singing and stories. Dad and I sang songs from James Taylor, Ralph McTell and The Spinners whilst on our way to collect Mum from late nursing shifts.

"When we had to make less exciting trips in the car, Mum would make up stories to distract us, (remember ?The Curtain Shop Fairy? Mum?) Hughie Jones?s song ?Ellan Vannin? was a regular favourite of ours and it captures perfectly this fantastic combination of singing and storytelling - I have recorded it as the first track."

Katie is looking forward to returning to the Old Baptst Chapel, where she first performed in November 2021. Her special guest for the evening is the Worcestershire-based singer and songwrtiter, Mike Weaver.

The evening starts at 7.45pm, with doors open from 7.30pm.  Please note this a 'BYOB' event and that there is no parking at the chapel, which is in an alley off Church Street: Abbey Lawns Car Park is nearby.

Tickets (£10) are only available in advance. Buy online here,
or from the John Moore Museum, Church Street, Tewkesbury GL20 5SN (see website www.johnmooremuseum.org for opening hours)

All government health and safety guidelines in place at the time of the event will be adhered to.
