The full programme of 2024 live music events at Nantwich Civic Hall has been unveiled.

And it all kicks off with leading British Slide guitarist and singer Troy Redfern this Saturday February 24.

He will be supported by the John Angus Band. Tickets are £15.

Back by popular demand next month are two favourites.

On Saturday 2nd March, We Three Kings of Rock ‘n’ Roll is a two-hour show to celebrate the music of three icons of Rock ‘n’ Roll – Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley.
