Folk and acoustic acts are going live

IRISH folk singer Cara Dillon brings her captivating blend of traditional songs and original compositions to Nettlebed Village Club on Monday evening.

She has won every folk award going but confesses to being no purist, making music that reaches beyond the constraints and limitations of tradition.

Tickets for Monday’s show, which starts at 8pm, are £17.50 in advance. To book, call 01628 636620 or visit www.nettlebedfolkclub.co.uk

On Sunday night the Athlete Services shop in Henley’s Greys Road car park is the venue for an “intimate acoustic music” gig by up and coming Oxford band Balloon Ascents and acclaimed Birmingham duo Mellow Peaches.

Showtime is 7.30pm. Tickets are £6 in advance, available from In The Groove in Reading Road or iamhenley.wix.com/iamin
