With lockdown restrictions easing, live music is back with

Wessex Acoustic presenting a concert in St Peter’s Church, at the top of the famous Gold Hill, Shaftesbury on Friday, May 21 at 8pm – doors 7.30pm.

Star for the night is JEZ LOWE, said to be one of the finest singer-songwriters to emerge from the years of industrial hardships in the North East of England. His songs tell of everyday life and regional traditions, fairs, festivals and celebrations, giving glimpses into the lives of miners and factory workers with their traditions and folk legends.

Jez’s song-writing and story-telling skills are in demand, with him being invited to be part of the BBC Radio Ballads series several times.

Jez has travelled the world with his music, and is welcomed and enjoyed everywhere he goes.

Providing a break for Jez between two 45 minute sets is a shorter set from award-winning duo from Salisbury, Antoine and Owena, with their self-penned songs.

Number of seats is strictly limited and socially-distanced. Tickets are £12.50 each, an introductory special price, available via the website www.wessex-acoustic.co.uk
