Borough Theatre Abergavenny announces new concert series
The Borough Theatre in Abergavenny is launching Boro Bites, a programme of one-hour, unplugged concerts set to run beneath the theatre in Abergavenny library, with the first show taking place on September 4 at 2.30pm.
The concerts will run monthly through to December, with each show offering a different musical flavour in an intimate setting.
Huw Williams, the UK folk music legend behind hits for Fairport Convention, will open the series with a performance dedicated to the golden age of Broadway.
Mr Williams said: "That's the thing about all the shows in this series.
"There's no amplification or 'electrickery' – just wonderful, unvarnished music.
"It's an atmosphere that connects performer and audience in such a personal, intimate way."
His set will include songs and stories from classic musicals such as Oklahoma, Guys And Dolls and My Fair Lady.
The final concert on December 4 will feature Pat Smith and Ned Clamp in a festive special, complete with songs, spoon-playing, and an appearance by the Mari Lwyd – the ghostly, horse-skull figure of Welsh folklore.
Other highlights include a '60s sing-along with the Blaenau Gwent Rhythm Band on October 16 and a performance by folk trio Burn The Fiddle on November 13.
Tickets cost £8 and include tea or coffee and biscuits, with mince pies for the December show.
Tickets are available online at the Borough Theatre website or by calling the box office on 01873 850 805.
