Live listening music in cosy venues
“What a fantastic hidden gem of a venue!” “It‘s like a private party among friends. Enjoy the banter.” “A jewel by the hill” “Keep it secret”
The "Pear Tree Sessions" are evenings of fine acoustic music held in a beautiful old restored chapel adjacent to Hartpury Church in Gloucestershire. They are making a very welcome return after an absence of two years.
The acoustics of The Old Chapel are sublime, the ambience intimate and the performances are always memorable.
Gwyneth Keen will be performing songs from her new EP '5 Ways to Kill Your Lover'. She is joined by Heather McFarlane on fiddle and Ken Appleby on guitar.
Sharing the bill will be the wonderful Patsy Gamble and James Watson. Patsy is a world class saxophonist playing music in the style of Candy Dulfer, Maceo Parker and Davis Sanborn. She has performed all over the world with many different artists including Steve Winwood, Mick Jagger, Ruby Turner. She is joined by James Watson who is an acclaimed virtuoso classical/jazz guitarist.
