Upcoming Events - 2025
IVORY FOLK - NEW!!!
Saturday 31st May - 7.30 - 9pm (doors open 7pm)
We are so excited to introduce 'Ivory Folk' to the people of Gotherington (and beyond!). Consisting of our very own Duncan Ivory (of '18 Strings' fame), and his younger brother Graham who have come together to perform their own mix of music.
In their earlier days Duncan and Graham played together in a band called "Breakaway", with Duncan on lead guitar and Graham on Bass. Like Duncan, Graham has in fact played to a Gotherington audience before as he joined 18 Strings for last year's GFest as Bass player (with no rehearsal - thats how good he is!)
Their playlist includes 'The Gotherington Jig' which is a brand new piece of music, written by Duncan, that tries to capture the essence and sounds of living in Gotherington and is a reflection on the wonderful people whom he and his wife Gilly have met since moving here.
Tickets are just £6 and are selling fast. Sign up at Gotherington Local Store & Post Office (cash only).
