at Violets Tea Room
BridgnorthHattie Whitehead - ShireFolk Tour
19:00 - 22:00 15th May 2025 – 17th May 2025
More InformationHattie Whitehead is a remarkable musician. She is a powerful and distinctive songwriter, a fine guitarist, an inspired interpreter of classic songs, and a singer with a remarkable vocal and emotional range.
Hattie will be touring the region from 15-17 May 2025 at pop-up venues.
15 May at the Rankin Club in Leominster
16 May at St Anne's Church in Bewdley
17 May at Violets Tea Room in BridgnorthDescribed this year by Jazzwise as ‘one of the greatest singers I have ever heard’, Hattie’s honest, intimate and direct manner weaves its way through her performances and songwriting.
With three EPs, support from the likes of Glastonbury, Guy Garvey and the iPaper, now comes Hattie’s debut album Bloom. Produced by John Reynolds, whose production credits include Sinead O’Connor, this collection of Hattie’s own, highly-personal songs demonstrates her ability to transform personal experiences into music as she addresses themes of grief, re-growth, family, roots and female empowerment.
While her last EP Mechanism was influenced by the death of her mother, Bloom is “more up…the overarching theme is discovering who I am, re-emerging from a period of intense grief and reassessing life from a new viewpoint as a changed person.”Bloom is the result of a lifetime spent in music. Her mum was a music-loving poet, her dad is the celebrated jazz saxophonist Tim Whitehead, and as this debut album proves, Hattie has developed into an empowered artist, unafraid to address difficult themes and drawing her strength through honesty and vulnerability.

Various locations around Bishop's CastleMore InformationWe look forward to walking with you in 2025 and celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Bishop’s Castle Walking Festival.
Our friendly volunteer leaders have been guiding walks in this beautiful corner of the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, on the Welsh border since 2000. Tucked in on the lea of Offa’s Dyke, we’ve lived with a history of borders, raids, journeys and travellers, all ingrained in our special landscape.
Join our local walk leaders who have planned their favourite routes and places to visits to create our 2025 programme of walks – which will be published on our website in December 2024. Help us celebrate our 25th anniversary and come along to our festival fringe events, and share in the local hospitality in and around Bishops Castle; Sparc Theatre, Castle Hotel, Six Bells Pub, Town Hall, Bishop's Castle and Beyond,

BridgnorthHattie Whitehead - ShireFolk Tour
19:00 - 22:00 15th May 2025 – 17th May 2025
More InformationHattie Whitehead is a remarkable musician. She is a powerful and distinctive songwriter, a fine guitarist, an inspired interpreter of classic songs, and a singer with a remarkable vocal and emotional range.
Hattie will be touring the region from 15-17 May 2025 at pop-up venues.
15 May at the Rankin Club in Leominster
16 May at St Anne's Church in Bewdley
17 May at Violets Tea Room in BridgnorthDescribed this year by Jazzwise as ‘one of the greatest singers I have ever heard’, Hattie’s honest, intimate and direct manner weaves its way through her performances and songwriting.
With three EPs, support from the likes of Glastonbury, Guy Garvey and the iPaper, now comes Hattie’s debut album Bloom. Produced by John Reynolds, whose production credits include Sinead O’Connor, this collection of Hattie’s own, highly-personal songs demonstrates her ability to transform personal experiences into music as she addresses themes of grief, re-growth, family, roots and female empowerment.
While her last EP Mechanism was influenced by the death of her mother, Bloom is “more up…the overarching theme is discovering who I am, re-emerging from a period of intense grief and reassessing life from a new viewpoint as a changed person.”Bloom is the result of a lifetime spent in music. Her mum was a music-loving poet, her dad is the celebrated jazz saxophonist Tim Whitehead, and as this debut album proves, Hattie has developed into an empowered artist, unafraid to address difficult themes and drawing her strength through honesty and vulnerability.

19:00 - 22:30 30th May 2025
Castle Hall, BridgnorthMore InformationAmbitious, genre-busting folk’ The Guardian
Following the release of their new album ‘Parlour Ballads’ (Hudson Records) – released Sept ’24 - Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings return to the live arena with their unique brand of post-apocalyptic folk played in a traditional style vs. traditional folk played with post-apocalyptic swagger.
Boden’s Waitsian parlour ballads and Napoleonic power-pop, will be performed alongside the band’s fifteen-year back-catalogue of traditional and original songs and tunes. The band combines a deep understanding of traditional music with musical audacity and theatrical brio, and feature the enormous talents of Sam Sweeney (Bellowhead), Rob Harbron (Leveret), Ben Nicholls (Seth Lakeman Band), Sally Hawkins (Bellowhead) and the vocals and pedal-steel guitar of cult singer-songwriter M.G. Boulter.
Support for the evening comes from the wonderful Katie Spencer - The songwriting, and most notably her guitar playing stems from a time when the steel-stringed instrument was truly finding its voice. Artists like Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and perhaps most evidently Michael Chapman, flow into her sound, carrying with them the warmth and idealism of the early 70’s folk and songwriter movements.

More InformationSet apart in their own musical galaxy Birmingham's own tunemongering grinesters, The Courtesy Group, survive against fashion, mediocrity, systematic dullness and impossible odds. Marmite to most musical confectionery, their debut album 'Tradesman's Entrance' and its successor 'Second City Liquor' have aired on BBC6's Stuart Maconie's Freakzone, Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service and Guy Garvey's Finest Hour (and previously on The John Peel Show on Radio 1), as well as receiving glowing reviews from Mojo, Uncut, Louder Than War and Stewart Lee in 'The Sunday Times': live, they remain consistently dangerous and a robust antidote to a fully digitalised itunes world.
