Live Music:

West Pennard Village Hall, Sun Feb 26,

Doors 6.30pm. Show 7.30pm

Janice Burns & Jon Doran are an Anglo-Scottish duo who came together after discovering a shared love of traditional music. They find their songs in archives that span the depths of our history – songs that tell vivid stories about the nature of life and our place in the world.

Janice & Jon's compelling storytelling comes alive through tight vocal harmonies and sensitive interplay between mandolin, bouzouki, and guitar. Their arrangements have a spellbinding presence and an understated energy that transports their songs from the pages of books and manuscripts into the imagination of the listener.

Karl Jenkins: Symphonic Adiemus

Wells Cathedral, February 25th - 19:00 - 21:30

A breathtaking evening of music from The Fulltone Orchestra and a massed choir. Listen to Karl Jenkins' wonderful and iconic Adiemus written for a symphony orchestra followed by epic film choral music that you don't often get to hear. Music from Vangelis, Hans Zimmer and John Williams.

Tickets from £14 - £28 (+ booking fee)

Piano Masters: Steven Osborne - Cedar Hall, 24th February

One of Britain's most treasured musicians, Steven Osborne's insightful and dazzling interpretations of a huge variety of music show immense musical depth. Don't miss this rare chance to hear him play two of the most epic sonatas in the piano repertoire alongside further pieces by Rachmaninov and an unexpected bagatelle by Beethoven. Steven's numerous awards include The Royal Philharmonic Society Instrumentalist of the Year, two BBC Music Magazine Awards and two Gramophone Awards. 

Snowdrop Celebrations at the Bishop's Palace, Wells

The Bishop's Palace's popular "Snowdrop Celebrations" is still in Wells - but not for much longer.

Plus each weekend little ones can pick up a children's trail from the Palace Ticket Office with the reward of a small prize upon completion.
