There will be an evening of traditional English Christmas music in Northrepps featuring some of the biggest names on the country’s folk rock scene.

The Albion Christmas Band is planning to play at the village hall in School Lane on Monday, December 19.

The band consists of Kellie While, Simon Care and Simon Nicol.

Also in the group is Ashley Hutchings, patron of Cromer’s ‘Folk on the Pier’ festival and founder of Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span.

Mr Hutchings said of the group, which has just released a new album called All Are Safely Gathered In: “The band has been in existence with the same four members for over 20 years, and during this time we have released around a dozen albums. 

“This has given us the opportunity to hone our output, and I can say that with this latest recording, we have written and produced the best one ever.”

The gig starts at 7.30pm, with tickets costing £25 available online from www.folkonthepier.co.uk/merchandise or on the door.
