A Narthen Christmas:

Christmas comes but once a year, which means we only get one chance annually to see the Coope, Causley, Fraser & Freya Christmas show – a pity, since the eclectic, funny, poignant and clever mixture would work even stripped of its seasonal theme. But luckily when they take their Christmas hats off they turn into Narthen.

This is not just a bunch of folk with good voices belting out traditional carols. It’s a welcoming hotch-potch of stories, poetry and jokes threaded through with carolling and wassailing, both acapella and accompanied by a proper bagful of instruments, blown, plucked, bowed and struck.

The show is rich in the Variety tradition – there are various nods to music hall – and steeped in folk’s past and present, and the way the show veers effortlessly between solemnity and silliness makes it a wonderful, and wonderfully warm, winter night out.

My favourite, favourite Carol Singers (Natalie Wheen, Classic FM)

We can’t wait to share this special night with you, book your seats whilst you still can (or be put on Santa’s naughty list!):
