An evening with folk musician Barry Walsh

We’re excited to be hosting a night with Somerset based Barry Walsh who will entertain us with folk music and story telling.

Somerset based Barry Walsh is an acoustic/roots songwriter and has been around quite a while. His backlog includes Porlock Hill, Bring Her Home, the Matthew, the Curzon and the Strawberry Line to name a few, and his current song the ‘Willow Man’ is being played out on BBC Radio whilst supporting the plight of the old fella on the M5!
Oh, did you know he was also responsible in naming ‘Castle Bridge’ in Bristol…

Date: 8 October 2022

Doors open at 7.30pm

Bar will be open.

Venue: Allerford Village Hall

We’re delighted that CalvertStock is back for its 5th consecutive year, and people are already supporting us by buying tickets from the website. All the money raised from CalvertStock goes straight into helping people with disabilities, and we really appreciate the support.

We would like to say a massive thank you to all the great musicians who have volunteered their talents to support us; it’s going to be great couple of days with some fantastic music, which last year raised £4,500. Huge thanks also to everyone who has already helped to make this a wonderful event, in particular First Steps Management, Lathwell Associates, Mr. Purchase for hosting the camping, and of course The Old Station House Inn for hosting the event.”
