Kath Tait & Terence Blacker 18th September
Kath Tait and Terence Blacker are two of my favourite folk-ish performers. Both are great songwriters and musicians. They'll have you in stitches and maybe tears with their observations on life. We have featured both of them at our club in Hadleigh several times over the years, though not together as yet. However, we have them as a duo in Hadleigh in June 2026, but if you can't wait until then make a date to see them at the Fisher Theatre, Bungay on Septenber 18th.
Find out more about these stars from my articles in Living Tradition magazine - written before they even thought of performing together.
