music nights

Our ‘Music Live’ events have become a regular and extremely popular feature of the Bawtry Phoenix Theatre calendar. The aim is to provide a relaxed evening in a pleasant atmosphere, with a drink and good music - what more could one want at the end of a busy week!

The evenings usually feature three groups or individuals and we have covered a wide range of music - traditional folk music with a wide variety of instruments, accordions, melodeon, pipes, flutes, clarinets and drum, some french folk music and we have even had a choir singing traditional folk songs and spirituals. We have had some jazz and some well known and not so well known ballads, as well as a very entertaining teller of tales and on another occasion, Barnsley poet, Ian McMillan.

The evenings are organised by Barrie Scully who, together with Alan Cropley, form our ‘house band’, ‘Change for Two Tenors’. They play a mix of popular standards, songs from musicals and folk songs, in fact anything that takes their fancy.
