Wilful Missing @ Kirton In Lindsey Town Hall March 14

March 14th Doors: 7:00 PM Advance Tickets: £12 Door prices are £1.50 higher Bands start around 7.30 PM   Kirton Town Hall Market Square Kirton in Lindsey North Lincolnshire DN21 4LZ Click to buy Tickets Get Directions Wilful Missing     Performing @ Kirton Town Hall Live Saturday 14th  March We are delighted to have rebooked Bradford five piece band Wilful Missing to play Town Hall Live. They were due to headline in March last year, but had to cancel at the last minute due to an illness to lead singer Sam Kipling. Wilful Missing are uniquely different, their music is beautifully inventive and their song writing intelligent.  Their latest album 'Molehills out of Mountains' is carefully crafted. On album and in concert they play a host of instruments from cahon to pipes, banjo to accordion & keyboards and drums to produce a rich Americana sound, interspersed with Irish melodies and continental vibes, all underpinned with Sam's cracked vocals. They describe themselves as alternative, acoustic folk rock, but they are more than that. We welcome back The Fireside Knights as support. They last played in December, 2014 and we just had to have them back.  We look forward to hearing Rachel's crystal clear voice, Steve's dynamic lead bass and Mark's guitar and mandolin. Advance tickets are priced at £12 otherwise £13.50 on the door. Tickets can be obtained from the One Stop store in the town, from Brian on 01652 649230 or from www.wegottickets.com Don't miss it! Then next time at Town Hall Live ... Kyle Carey and Luke Jackson     Saturday 11th April Kyle Carey is an acclaimed singer song writer from New Hampshire, who has taken folk music traditions from America and Scotland/ Ireland and grafted them together to produce something uniquely her own. Sharing the bill with Kyle will be 20 year old Luke Jackson from Canterbury, Kent.  Luke sings with an extraordinarily rich voice and possesses an astonishing guitar technique for such a young man.  He is a captivating performer demonstrating as astonishing maturity for one so young Advance Tickets for this concert will be £12, and can be obtained from the usual outlets.  Bring Your Friends for a Great Night Out and Save on Tickets! We would like as many people as possible to come and enjoy the concerts we put on. Why not ask your friends?  Any person buying 6 tickets up to one week before any concert will get £1 off the ticket price on all tickets purchased.
