acoustic night with jo ash
Thu, 13 Jul 2023 19:30
13 July 7pm at The Arts Cafe, Commemoration Hall, Huntingdom PE29 3AQ
About Jo: Jo Ash. A working musician with a wealth of capability: critically-acclaimed, award-nominated, instantly recognisable, unique vocals, intricate piano, strong melodies and dramatic songs.
Jo's music is immersive. Her songs comment on life as she observes and experiences it, sometimes with wry humour, sometimes with heart-felt introspection, and sometimes with both. And when her imagination takes flight into the world of the unexpected they tell engaging stories of vampires, magicians and buried treasure! Audiences can't get enough.
