Music at St Michael’s Church

24/08/2026

Sunday 13th September, 5:30pm

This time we have extremely talented singer song writer Charlie Wood performing with Dave Wilkinson (guitar) and Caspar St Charles (drums). Charlie tours the UK regularly and appears at many of the top venues, giving great performances of a wide genre from soul, blues and jazz to appreciative audiences. As always, your support to these events is so much appreciated. Your attendance and enjoyment keeps live performing artists like Charlie working,
and at the same time you will be supporting our efforts to cover the costs of maintaining our historic village church.

Please come early from 5.00pm if you haven’t already bought your ticket and we hope you enjoy a fun evening with friends, great music, atmosphere and a glass or two of French wine. Tickets £20 from the Post Office or call Gill Loyd on 07767 463285.
