Guitarist and composer Richard Durrant heralds the start of the Christmas season with sons Django & Felix on percussion & bass, founder member of Gryphon the legendary Brian Gulland on crumhorns and bassoon and the unforgettable voice of Amy Kakoura. This is an acoustic, festive feast of tunes from the early music repertoire, British folk and traditional carols hosted by natural storyteller Richard and packed full of midwinter magic. Over many years Richard’s Candlelit Christmas concerts have become a seasonal tradition eagerly awaited by music lovers across the UK.

“A magical show that brought a sense of peacefulness to an otherwise hectic time. This was both a Christian and Pagan celebration without any sparkly tinsel and commercial sentimentality. Durrant’s playing was masterful, creating the right seasonal feel to this family show” – (Brighton Argus);

“ ..technically impressive guitar playing on the folk/classical cusp..” – (The Independent);

“An all embracing winter tapestry…whether pure instrumental or paired with Amy Kakoura’s soothing tones, it’s a tasteful celebration” – (Guitar & Bass Magazine).
