Northamptonshire music group that has raised £35,000 for good causes announces next charity concert
A Northamptonshire arts group which has raised more than £35,000 for good causes over the past decade has announced its next charity fundraising concert.
Flore Arts Events will welcome singer-songwriter Joe Martin to All Saints Church in Flore on Saturday, September 19, with profits from the evening going towards local good causes.
The organisation has raised more than £35,000 for charitable causes over the past 10 years, including Flore Parish Church, the village’s infants school and local clubs.
Its latest event will feature an evening of original music alongside classics by legendary American singer-songwriter James Taylor.
Joe Martin is described by organisers as a “21st century troubadour”, performing classic American folk music influenced by artists including James Taylor, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, as well as the musical traditions of Nashville and Garfunkel.
His music has previously attracted praise for its “rich, resonant” vocals, “stellar rock ’n’ country songwriting” and “superb melodies”.
Organisers are encouraging people from Flore and the surrounding area to support the concert and help continue the group’s fundraising efforts.
The performance will take place at All Saints Church on Saturday, September 19, starting at 7.30pm, with doors opening at 7pm.
Tickets cost £17.50 for adults and £5 for under-18s.
Tickets and further information are available by calling Rosemary Read on 01327 341026 between 9am and 6pm.
They can also be purchased in person from Re at 2A Sutton Street, Flore, NN7 4LE, during the shop’s normal opening hours.
Flore Arts Events said everyone was welcome to attend the concert, with profits once again supporting good causes in the local community.
