Following the hugely popular 25th anniversary Christmas tour, renowned folk singer Maddy Prior joins up once again with The Carnival Band during the festive season for their unique celebratory show Carols & Capers.

Together they mix renaissance, modern and ethnic instruments with a refreshing cavalier attitude and plenty of humour, putting their inimitable stamps on a range of familiar and not-so-familiar festive fare. 

This will guarantee to be a Christmas party to remember.

The Guardian has described Maddy's voice as "clear as a bell", adding "It actually sounds as if there's a celebration going on."

The Sunday Telegraph said: "The Carnival Band is an accomplished bunch whose engaging use of classical, folk and other influences defies shorthand definition."

Tickets are available from the Cheltenham Town Hall box office or online.
