an update from Charlie Dore -
playing here on Sat 6 December.
'I’ll be joined by the multi-talented Gareth Huw Davies on double bass, cello and piano.

Charlie Dore
'Songs for the Curious'
alongside virtuoso 5 stringed double bass player Gareth Huw Davies, the two create a unique atmosphere, instrument-swapping, story telling, fast-moving yet relaxed and full of edgy humour.
