RBC Presents: Global Traditions - A concert series of folk music from around the world

Dave Pegg & AJ Clarke + Churchfitters

A double bill of folk brilliance, music, and mischief.

An unmissable evening of world-class folk from two of the scene’s most original and entertaining acts.

Dave Pegg & Anthony John Clarke

When singer-songwriter and storyteller Anthony John Clarke joined forces with folk-rock legend Dave Pegg (Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull), a unique and hilarious musical friendship was born. Twenty years on, their autumn tours have become a cult favourite, brimming with charm, laughter, and irresistible songs.

Expect wit, warmth, and a shedload of musical joy.

Churchfitters

Quirky, colourful and completely captivating, Churchfitters push the boundaries of folk with a dazzling array of instruments - think petrol tanks, hubcaps, saws, and even a saucepan dulcimer - alongside fiddle, banjo, and sublime vocals. Their genre-busting sound, known as “Folk Unlimited”, is uplifting, inventive, and always unforgettable.

A night of storytelling, laughter, and wildly original music.
Don’t miss this celebration of friendship, folk, and fearless creativity.

Running time approx. two hours and 15 minutes
