Description

Three Worcestershire-based songwriters come together to share the stage for an evening of original, contemporary folk at Tewkesbury's historic Old Baptist Chapel.

Colin Pitts first performed in folk clubs while a student in Swansea in the late ?60's, and became very popular in Midlands folk circles in the first half of the 1970's.

Colin has played his own songs at clubs, village halls and festivals all over the UK and has also been on many local radio shows as well as a performance on BBC Radio 2.  A serious illness caused a reduction in live work for a while, but Colin kept writing and is now performing live better than ever.

Mike Weaver is a singer-songwriter originally from Cheltenham, but now living in Worcestershire. He is a writer and illustrator by day and an acoustic performer by night, presenting his own melodic songs which draw upon both contemporary and traditional influences.

After a break of over twenty years, Mike returned to songwriting and performing in 2013 . Since his 'come back' he has played at a variety of events across southern England and the Midlands, opening for many well known-artists as well as festival appearances and performing his own solo shows.

His songs have been played by BBC regional stations, 6 Music and on folk radio stations all over the world.

Charlie Williams is a singer-songwriter from Worcester. His Americana-flavoured songs have seen airplay on BBC Hereford & Worcester and he can often be heard around the folk and open mic scene of his home town. Many of his songs are storytelling ballads set in his county, from tragic tales in the Malvern Hills to the impact of the English Civil War on ordinary people. Others are lyrical ruminations on life, love and random experience.
 
Charlie is also a novelist of some acclaim, with several novels published internationally and appearances at Hay and New York Book Expo. He wrote the screenplay for a short film that was screened at festivals around the world including Cannes.

Please note there is no bar at the Old Baptist Chapel, which is in an alleyway off Church Street. Audience members may bring their own soft or alcoholic drinks if they wish. Nearest Car Parks are at Abbey Lawn, Gander Lane and St Mary's Lane (free after 6pm)
