Jangly-guitar rock and a biting sense of humour meet in the storytelling songs of Chris Tavener.
A theatrical musician with an acerbic wit, Tavener writes his lyrics from the perspective of flawed characters that he draws from 21st century life.
Chris will be joined by, folk comedian, songwriter, cardigan anthusiast and woodland goth, Aubrey bringing us a set of improvisational music, tall tales and sweary whimsy.
Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start.
This is a pay-by-donation original music night. Free entry with cash donations for the 'hat.'
