A POPULAR folk band will be stopping in Cardigan on their latest tour.

Maddy Prior & The Carnival Band will be bringing their Chapel & Tavern Tour to Mwldan in Cardigan on April 15.

The folk group will be celebrating the lives and culture of everyday folk, with the concert being split into two halves. The first half will be in the chapel and feature music from church gallery bands from an era when hymn writers took inspiration from theatre music and popular song.

They will move to the tavern after the interval for entertaining performances of ballads, theatre songs and dance tunes. The night will provide tastes of chaotic London of Hogarth’s Gin Lane, Swift, Smollett and Thackeray and the enthusiastic singing of early Methodists and the village bands.

Maddy Prior & the Carnival Band will be at Mwldan on Saturday, April 15 at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £24.50 and are available from www.mwldan.co.uk or by calling 01239 621200 between 12pm-8pm Tuesday to Sunday.
