Blue Lantern Session: Mark Radcliffe & Co Christmas Special

After two years of sold-out shows at Storyhouse, Chester, The Blue Lantern Sessions are delighted to be bringing their acclaimed live music series to the beautiful Hermon Chapel in Oswestry.

Lovingly curated and hosted by Igloo Hearts, featured on Y Llais (S4C) and The Piano (Channel 4), the sessions have built a reputation for presenting some of the finest artists from the UK folk, Americana, roots and acoustic scene in an intimate, Jools Holland-inspired setting.

More than just concerts, these are evenings that celebrate the magic of live music: beautiful songs, captivating stories, laughter, tears and unforgettable performances shared between artists and audience in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Over the past two years, a loyal community of music lovers and musicians has grown around the sessions, with audiences returning month after month to discover incredible artists and experience something truly special.

Now, that same spirit is coming to Oswestry.

Whether you’re joining us for the first time or travelling from Chester, expect exceptional live music, beautifully presented in one of the region’s most special venues.

Radco hit The Hermon this December for a night of music, mischief, and mild chaos. Don’t miss it!

It’s the Blue Lantern at the Hermon Christmas Special!

Join BBC Radio’s Mark Radcliffe and friends (and foes) for a genial meander through twenty-five years of music by his previous bands: The Family Mahone, Foes and Galleon Blast. The Mahones played their first gig in 1998 since when Mark and his largely Chester-based musical chums have plied their dubious trade in several line-ups which, in all honesty, have all been quite similar.

This performance picks out songs from their less-than-illustrious back catalogue for a
relaxed, age-appropriate re-appraisal. In the bastardised words of Fred Pontin (one for the teenagers): ‘book early to ensure disappointment’.

Tickets are likely to fly, so grab yours now before they go!

Don’t miss the chance to experience this very special Chrstimas Blue Lantern show in the intimate surroundings of Hermon Chapel this October.
