Chippenham Folk Festival – Special Patrons Choice Concert

Join us for an evening concert featuring Belinda Kempster and Fran Foote, along with Melrose Quartet.

Belinda Kempster and Fran Foote
As mother and daughter, Fran and Belinda have sung together privately for years, but it’s only now we all have a chance to hear the duo bring timeless renditions, without frills or fuss, to a repertoire that is rich and varied. Come and hear their unique interpretations of mostly Essex-collected traditional songs.

Melrose Quartet
From deep roots in their hometown’s vibrant music, song and dance scene, to smashing concert appearances in the UK and abroad, Sheffield-based Melrose Quartet have attracted a reputation for making music that truly connects with people. Melrose Quartet perform a diverse repertoire – carousing chorus songs, lively dance tunes, ancient stories and modern pieces written in celebration of everything from weddings & birthdays to issues that affect all of our 21st century lives.
