OswestryLights Out Events - Present The Apple Sellers
19:30 - 22:00 12th July 2026
Oswestry Cricket ClubMore InformationThe Apple Sellers are a contemporary folk duo from Manchester that blend elements of modern classical and traditional folk and spiritual music to create captivating musical performances. It is a unique approach that has seen them gain standing ovations at both folk festivals and classical music events.
The duo consists of the acclaimed musician and storyteller Martin Purdy, frontman of the award-winning folk trio Harp & a Monkey, and gifted multi-instrumentalist Ian Mayer (#halfblindbassist) from Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester. The pair, who first met in (and continue to meet in) a community orchard, bonded over a shared passion for the power of musical storytelling. The result is an evocative sound underpinned by piano, double bass, harmonium, shruti box drones and strong harmony vocals.
“Folk music deconstructed, reimagined and reassembled with a soupçon of Indian secular drone, a pinch of Gorecki, Riech, Glass minimalism, and a passing nod to La Monte Young, accompanying lyrics of dark, strange, humorous tales. Original, rewarding, entertaining, catch if you can.

The historic village of Brampton Bryan is preparing to entertain you and your family at another spectacular festival. Book a guided tour of the Castle and learn about the Civil War sieges.

On the cricket pitch you can settle into the BBQ, teas, coffees, delicious cakes and ice creams; you can browse the stalls, have a go at archery or skittles, enter your dog in the fun Dog Show, have your face painted, step back in time with a ride in the Strawberry Cart – or just relax to the sounds of the Knighton Town Silver Band.
We look forward to seeing you! (PS flowers open 3rd and 4th too!)
