A multi-talented duo on a mission to break down musical barriers, Eleanor Grant and Gus McQuade have been captivating audiences with their unique combination of voice, guitar and double bass since their stunning debut recital at London's Wigmore Hall in 2023.


Sharing their musical world with its sublime combination of words, melodies, rhythms and harmonies, Eleanor and Gus have devised a delightful programme focusing on hope and comfort to be found around us in light. It coincides with the release of their debut album ‘Seasons in Time’.


Please note that there will be a church service from 12.30 to 1pm, directly before the start of the concert. We kindly ask our audience to register their attendance for the concert just inside the church with a member of our festival team. You are most welcome to take part in the service, or alternatively, wait in the narthex until just before the concert.


This is a lunchtime concert lasting one hour with no interval.


Details may change but are correct at time of publication. No refunds unless concert is cancelled.
