We hope you are excited about what we have uncover

We hope you are excited about what we have uncovered in our advent calendar so far!!
Inside window number 5 we have the first ever (as far as we know) continuous Ceilidh!
Yes, that's right! Non stop for 12 hours - can you keep up?!

Plus the usual double dose of ceilidh every other day! If you love to ceilidh, we have you covered!!

For this (hopefully) lazy Sunday morning, our advent calendar window offers us @theyoungunstrio

Last with us in 2016 and real festival favourites. The Young’uns live shows are renowned. With heart-on-the-sleeve storytelling, beautiful lyrics, warm harmonies and relentless repartee, Sean Cooney, Michael Hughes and David Eagle (the award-winning stand-up comedian) sing life-affirming folk songs for today.

20 years after accidentally stumbling into the alien world of their local folk club as drunken teenagers, (and gaining their cureless name in the process), these three thirtysomething friends from Stockton and Hartlepool have never lost the joy of that first night of singing together.

"The harmonies are glorious, the wit is waspish. The songs are powerful, the banter is relentless and the audience is happy. What’s not to like?"" ★★★★★

So who is behind door 2 on our fabulous Towersey advent calendar?

It's the fabulous @thefolkensemble back for our festival finale to make sure we end the weekend with a massive burst of energy!! 🎶

For those that have never seen this amazing show before, you are in for a proper treat. Joe Broughton set up this incredible band 19 years ago. Long before the current trend of big folk band line-ups and crazy folk fusions this band were drawing on influences of folk, funk, classical, ska, reggae, jazz, hip-hop and everything in between. Not only is the live performance of this 50 piece band (or funky orchestra should we say?!) second to none, you will most likely see the stars of tomorrow, many leading artists on the folk scene having been students of Joe's.

The Conservatoire Folk Ensemble is forever changing, always unique and has an energy & power that is unrivalled; it has to be seen to be believed. Using players from the prestigious Birmingham Conservatoire ensures that the standard of musicianship is top drawer and being led by folk fiddler Joe Broughton (Urban Folk Quartet, Albion Band, Joss Stone) means the music has the feel of a spontaneous folk orchestra and a show that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

If you are fully fledged folk fan, lover of any good music or just looking for a fantastic night out we guarantee that this is the gig for you. It also comes highly recommended for inspiring young musicians!

We are super excited to open door 1 on our Towerse

We are super excited to open door 1 on our Towersey advent calendar!!

And even more excited to announce @divinecomedyhq as our first 2023 headliner!!

Having now completed his third full decade as a recording artist, The Divine Comedy, aka Neil Hannon, will bring us monumental tracks including ‘National Express’, ‘Something For The Weekend’, ‘Songs of Love’, ‘Our Mutual Friend’, ‘A Lady of A Certain Age’, ‘To The Rescue’ and ‘Norman and Norma’ to Towersey Festival.

Touring on the back of his 'best of' collection - Charmed Life, Neil says “I’ve been luckier than most. I get to sing songs to people for a living and they almost always applaud. So when asked what to call my collection I thought of Charmed Life. I like the song and it rather sums up how I feel about my life.”

With twelve magnificent albums and hundreds of spellbinding shows under his belt, Neil Hannon is now, without doubt, a national treasure and one of the finest singer songwriters of his generation.

Neil says: “I am so looking forward to playing live again. The last couple of years have been a reminder of how much it means to me personally. It really is my favourite thing. And it seems fitting that we’ll be coming back with a greatest hits set. You know, in case everyone’s forgotten who I am and what we do!”
