UNDER A CELTIC MOON - Featuring Ma Bell & Guests

Scottish born urban folk blues Celtic Soul singer songwriter Isabella(Izzy) Miller Bell Aka Ma Bell returns to Tasman/Nelson Communities to tell her story of the blues under a Celtic Moon.

In this concert Ma Bell dons the mantle of Madame Tragedie, drawing upon her Celtic Connections to tell her story of the blues. A story which began in 1949 in a council housing estate in the once Clydeside shipbuilding town of Greenock in Scotland. Coming from a long line of singers and theatre folks, Ma Bell is the real deal, a consummate singer songwriter, a story-teller who leaves no stone unturned. More Info: millerbellmusic.com

Join us for a night of Celtic soul food and more in the company of a selection of the South’s finest independent artists of our time.
