*** TICKETS PURCHASED HERE ARE FOR THE MATINEE SHOW ONLY ***

For the matinee part of our little festive get together we are delighted to say that Swill will be joined by friend and collaborator John Kettle. They will be showcasing this year's brilliant, and widely acclaimed album Far Rockaway, the songs of Phil Ochs.

Phil Ochs died on 9 April 1976, Far Rockaway, Queens, New York. The album is respectfully dedicated to his memory and lasting impact he made on people, music, and politics.

We are thrilled to have Virginia Kettle opening proceedings for us. As well as a key member of the brilliant band Merry Hell, Virginia has a highly impressive body of witty, thoughtful solo material. Well worth arriving early for.

** Please note that seating at this show will be limited and unreserved ***
