We were thrilled to present The Changing Room at our very special 'concert by candlelight' at St. Peter's Church, Chellaston as part of their Winter UK Tour. The evening included a pop-up bar, courtesy of Wentwell Brewery which was staffed by volunteers from our chosen charity,Sight Support Derbyshire. The entertainment began with Gareth Lee & Annie Baylis, who were touring with the Changing Room.
Many thanks to everyone who performen, volunteered and attended!

“A bit like a Mr Benn adventure ... The Changing Roomis where the magic happens.” UK Folk Radio
Rootsy, Celtic-infused, original folk. Heavily influenced by the industrial heritage of Cornwall, the Looe-based band are ambassadors for collaboration and social singing. Their songs feature rousing choruses and catchy hooks that will keep you swaying and humming all week. Accordion, guitar, bodhran, harp and banjo plus award winning vocals deliver a winning combination, and unique sound. In the short time that they’ve been recording together The Changing Room have built up a significant catalogue of music, and clocked- up some impressive airtime on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 3.
