Under A Celtic Moon

Miller Bell Music presents an afternoon of music and celebration  featuring Scottish born folk blues jazz singer songwriter and producer Isabella (Izzy) Miller Bell also known as Ma Bell & Madame Tragedie.

 Under a Celtic Moon  promises to be a poignant tapestry of blues Jazz, folk and Celtic soul woven from the threads of Ma Bell's extraordinary life and is the final concert of the 2024 Acoustic South Series.  For this concert event Ma Bell has drawn together a superb selection of musicians from the Classical, Folk Jazz and Blues realms to celebrate 35 years of music making in the community, the first day of Spring and Father's Day.

 Guests include singer Debra Lee, accompanied by renowned pianist/arranger John Bevin with Russell Stedman on double bass, Helen Webby (CSO Harp) and Margo Askin (CSO flute ) with Reuben Derrick on clarinet/saxophone.

The programme for Under A Celtic Moon is inspired by two past Miller Bell Productions and  career highlights. The Lady Sings the Blues which was presented at The Great Hall  on the 31st August 1997 A day of great significance for many and Remembering Diana a 5th anniversary theatrical music tribute to the Late Princess of Wales presented in The Christchurch Cathedral in 2002 featuring a stunning cast of musicians, dancers and singers. 

Great Halls historically are places of celebration, of gatherings and of music performance. Miller Bell Music invites you to join us at The Great Hall for an afternoon of celebration and remembering.  You can expect an inspired programme of original composition, haunting classical Celtic airs and stunning classic jazz and blues performed by Ma Bell & an impressive host of accompanying musicians.

Mark it in your diary now, The Great Hall will be open with embers burning, to warm our hearts as we welcome in Spring and celebrate Fathers Day, remembering friends and loved ones who have passed.
