This Weekend at Willow Gallery Oswestry
Live Music this Saturday and BVA Open Studios In and Around Oswestry.
Sparks will fly at the Willow Gallery when world class musicians Ben Holder and Stuart Carter Smith take to the Stage this Saturday June 17th.
"Featuring two of the UK's top musicians, Holder and Smith provide violin, vocals and guitar and effortlessly fuse jazz, swing, classical and much more, infusing it all with their breathtaking speed and gypsy-style flair. Ben Holder on violin is the most talented and exciting young violin player on the scene, travelling throughout the UK and Europe to wow audiences with his abilities. Stuart Carter Smith is one of the UK's most respected gypsy jazz guitarists and a master of his craft. Together these two musicians create beautiful, energetic and above all exciting music."
