For the first time in Bittern, JOSH LIGHT will be performing with The Unfurling (or part thereof).

Josh is a creative multi-instrumental master, who will enthrall you with his haunting melodies, provoking lyrics and down-to-earth banter. Just finding out about UILLEANN PIPES is reason enough to prioritise this event on your calendar!

As always, your reservation includes afternoon tea with tea, coffee and cake (also gluten and dairy free options) but you are also welcome to BYO.

About JOSH LIGHT:

As a drummer…

As well as continuing to develop his skills as a drummer, Josh has dedicated himself to becoming a talented songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist.
