Trad Arts Team

PHEW!  What a scorcher!  We seem to be in the middle of something called summer. The grass is turning brown and trees are beginning to shed leaves for want of water.  Our programme of music, dance and stories continues, most of them in well known watering holes so that you can enjoy the music and enjoy a cool drink to lower your temperature.  Mad Moll will be filling their spot at the weekly live music session at All Saints and we have a free Storytelling Cafe in Malvern with storyteller/artist Graham Langley.  Here’s the full listing
