Due to the on-going concerns surrounding the coronavirus and taking into consideration the health and well-being of our audience members and key stakeholders, we have decided that it is important to postpone all public activity at The HopBarn until the autumn period when we hope that the threat of the virus will have subsided
For those who have bought tickets to any of our forthcoming programmed music events, you will of course be refunded the full cost of the ticket.
On behalf of The HopBarn, we value the support and patronage of everyone who has attended or was about to attend an event at this rural arts venue and recognise that without such dedicated support, we could not operate as we have been doing.
For the musicians who have recently played or were about to play, this is a devastating time for them as future gigs and music tours have been cancelled, leaving them suddenly without an expected yearly income. The impact will be widespread although we hope that this is just temporary and that we can host the music events that have already been programmed for the autumn season.
Thank you once again for your understanding in this situation and we look forward to welcoming you back at The HopBarn once this unsettled period has passed.
With Best Wishes on behalf of The HopBarn
For all events, tickets can be purchased online via Eventbrite although a booking fee will be added by Eventbrite.
If you would like to purchase tickets without the booking fee, tickets can be bought by:
-

Edgelarks
Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin) embark on another tour of the unusual and adventurous
02 Oct 2020
£14 (Advanced) £16 (on the door)
Combining exquisite folk with influences as diverse as blues, Indian classical, and beatboxing, the BBC Folk Award winners are taking their show to some equally special places.
The pair take their strong roots sound, mixing original song-writing with stomping beatbox harmonica, soaring fiddle and vocal harmonies, running wilder with each repeat play.
A busy collaborative period has included work as part of the Gigspanner Big Band (featuring members of Bellowhead and Steeleye Span); and performing at BBC Radio Two’s Festival In A Day to a Hyde Park crowd of 50,000 – supporting Kylie Minogue!
They are now leaving the beaten track firmly behind them, and would love you to join them for this celebration of hidden gems, extraordinary venues, and uncommon concerts.
“Subtle, atmospheric and bravely original” - The Guardian.
“Extraordinary...I was blown away by them!” – Tom Robinson, BBC 6Music

Greg Russell and Ciaran Algar joined forces in 2011. Combining Russell’s powerful vocals and driving guitar style with Algar’s All-Ireland winning fiddle playing, the duo have become one of the most sought after acts on the British folk scene.
In 2013 the pair won the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award before going on to win the Horizon Award for best breakthrough act from the same source in 2014. In 2015, they were nominated in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award Best Duo category.
Having toured extensively in the UK for five years, as well as in Denmark, Germany and The Netherlands, Greg Russell and Ciaran Algar have released 3 studio albums.
“One of the pleasures of live music of course, is witnessing the acts interactions with one another and relationships they build with the audience. Greg and Ciaran are very funny and in a few short years this humour seems to have shifted from jokes and puns to an almost 'Reeves and Mortimer' type surrealism. Greg has a dry, acerbic sense of humour whereas Ciaran is more anarchic and uncontrolled. An added twist is that at times it is difficult to tell whether they are on the verge of 'falling out' on stage as Greg gives his adult 'enough is enough' look, which just seems to incite Ciaran to further errant behaviour.” Paul Jackson for Fatea
