Following the hugely popular 2010 Christmas tour with the Carnival band, a couple of years touring with Steeleye Span, and as a trio with Giles Lewin and Hannah James. Maddy is now once again joining up with the Carnival Band for this coming Festive Season for their unique celebratory show “Carols & Capers”. and they're bringing this fantastic show to The Ocean Room – Weymouth Pavilion on Friday the 30th November.

Like their previous seasonal excursions, this one sees them put their unique stamp on a range of familiar (and not-so-familiar) festive material, whilst also exploring some new and exotic directions. Together they will mix renaissance, modern and ethnic instruments with a refreshing cavalier attitude and plenty of humour putting their inimitable stamps on a range of familiar and not-so-familiar festive fare. This will guarantee to be a Christmas Party to remember.

Featuring Festive favourites such as The Holly and the Ivy and I Saw Three Ships rub shoulders with secular carols like The Boar's Head, dance tunes like Old Joe Clark.
