Nominated for best musician at the BBC Folk Awards, banjo maestro Dan Walsh combines 'virtuoso playing and winning songwriting' (MORNING STAR). This exciting new trio sees him team up with award winning fiddler Ciaran Algar and long time collaborator Nic Zuppardi on mandolin.
At the heart of the trio's sound is British, Irish and American folk music delivered with a healthy dose of funky grooves. Add to all that poignant songs, astonishing musical departures and lively humour and the result is sure to be a truly memorable live show featuring three of the most in demand musicians on the folk scene today.

As part of Open Studios, the Willow Gallery presents a rich variety of work by emerging and established artists. All the artists are members of Borderland Visual Arts (BVA), a thriving artists' community based in Oswestry and the Borders, Since 1999, this annual show has attracted many visitors from across the region.

This is a unique opportunity to see high quality art on display and to meet talented artists working in their studios. The 60 members of the BVA work in a broad spectrum of art-forms. As well as painting and drawing, members work in textiles, printmaking, woodcarving and photography. There are ceramicists, sculptors, and jewelers too.

This is the largest showcase of work by the BVA, and Oswestry's largest art event. Most of the works on display are for sale, making this a great opportunity to buy an original piece of artwork at an affordable price.

For more information on members visit the BVA Website
