We are delighted that St Agnes Fountain will once again be starting Christmas in tuneful style, as they visit Hannahs at Seale-Hayne on their 15th consecutive sell-out Christmas tour.

Since their first get together, to record the eponymous St Agnes Fountain album in 2001, the quartet of founder, David Hughes; Fairport Convention’s Chris Leslie and 2009’s BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Best Duo, Chris While and Julie Matthews, have brought musical invention and laughter to the star-dust atmosphere of the season.

“The Aggies” recorded their 8th album (“Twelve Years of Christmas”) in 2012, again combining new versions of classic Christmas carols, original compositions and one or two fun surprises. St Agnes’ Fountain is a reference taken from the Christmas carol Good King Wenceslas. Although the albums accompany the putting up of a thousand Christmas trees throughout Britain, it is, without question, their magical live performances that have endeared them to an ever-growing audience (tickets were again being sold for this year’s tour as the curtain fell last year).

The magical concert promises more of their sparkling musicianship, humour and heartfelt renditions of both traditional and new Christmas classics.

Christmas, as they say, starts with St Agnes Fountain.
