Stoke Golding Arts Programme present two of the finest traditional musicians in the UK today.

"An evening of music of fire and brilliance from the high wire act in traditional music" THE IRISH TIMES.

Maire Ni Chathasaigh is the most influential interesting and original player of the Irish harp today and was named Irish Traditional Musician of the Year 2001.

Chris Newman is one of the UK's most extraordinary and revered acoustic guitarists.

"This celebrated duo took the place by storm. Stately Carolan tunes, jazzy Django-ish numbers, dazzling Doc Watson style flatpicking fliers, driving Irish dance tunes - this pair can nonchalantly do the lot. Guitar players applauded and went sadly home to burn their instruments" THE BELFAST TELEGRAPH
