LIVE THURSDAY 9TH APRIL

YONDER ACOUSTIC
"Dale, one half of the local ‘Over Yonder Acoustic Duo’ performing a solo set as ‘Yonder Acoustic’. Covering a range of classics from the 60’s to modern day, a few ‘Cumbrian’ songs in between and the odd song that you shouldn’t really play on acoustic guitar."
