Upcoming live Music
Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin
Friday 28th October 2016 : 8pm (doors open 7:00pm) £12 / £6 for Children
Exceptional multi-instrumentalists Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin have proved they are in a league of their own after winning the coveted Best Duo title at the 15th Radio 2 Folk Awards at the Albert Hall.
Singer, song writer Hannah Martin is a skilled fiddler, viola and banjo player with a real lightness of touch, a distinctive voice and a gift for tapping traditional music veins to create contemporary song. Her songs weave Folklore and Legend, old and new with beautiful melodies, creating haunting compositions delivered with bold and beautiful singing.
Phillip is one of the Uk's finest slide guitarists having studied in Calcutta with India's premier slide guitarist Debashish Bhattacharya. Phillip is also a virtuoso on the harmonica, his innovative playing combines country blues and folk styles with beat-boxing to create a jaw dropping and much converted 21st century harmonica sound heavily steeped in tradition.
"This duo have brought something quite original to the genre with their haunting mixture of English, Irish, Indian and Celtic textures." Steve Knightley

Current Exhibitions
Ending Saturday 29th October
'Life Forms' by Margaret Charman
This is a major Exhibition by local painter Margaret Charman. Margaret now paints full time having retired from the position as Head of the Cheshire School of Art & Design. Margaret has exhibited widely in London and the UK. Her work is reflected in collections in the USA, Europe and South Africa. This Exhibition will reflect various aspects of work over a period of time and consequently it is diverse in subject matter, approach and treatment.
Marches Independent Photography
This is a loose-knit group of independently-minded photographers living in Shropshire, The Marches and beyond and this will be their ninth group exhibition and we hope it demonstrates the quality & diversity of images produced by members. The photographers predominantly produce thematically coherent bodies of work in a variety of styles and approaches to the medium, encompassing landscape, documentary, portraiture, street and others. The Exhibition will include photographs taken at the venue in 2010 just before Roy Evans' garage was taken over by Peter Vidal to become The Willow Gallery
Variant Enigmas Group Show
An eclectic mix of artists working throughout Shropshire and the Welsh Borders bringing together a mix of subject matter, styles and motives for the first time in recognition of our collaboration.
Malcolm Tillis' Collages remain on show in the Dunbabin Room. All proceeds will be donated to the Willow Gallery (we are a Community Interest Company)
