THE CHURCHFITTERS CHRISTMAS CRACKER

(Wem Town Hall, Dec 8)

Rural touring organisation Arts Alive loves to celebrate Christmas with a bang, and this year is no different.

Shropshire audiences are in for a real treat as four venues are set to enjoy a big dose of festive cheer in the form of alternative folk group The Churchfitters Christmas Cracker!

The Churchfitters is a folk group like no other. A double bass made out of scrap metal. Heart-wrenching vocals accompanied by a musical saw.

Foot-stomping fast fiddle mixed with infectious funk-rock rhythms.

A mouth-watering selection of favourites from their regular repertoire interlaced with traditional and original festive songs and Christmas carols, this cracker of a show will see Christmas in with a bang and a paper hat-full of surprises, novelties - and some obligatory terrible festive jokes as well!

Intrigued? An evening out with The Churchfitters is the perfect way to start the winter season and get into the Christmas spirit.
