Taking place in the atmospheric, fun and extremely popular Axbridge Town Hall, Howjidoo promises to be an engaging, poignant and humorous experience, as Reg and Will swap selections of Woody and Reg’s songs, using a variety of guitars, fiddles, dulcimer and banjo.
Howjidoo is the second show in the Don't Take Art Away season of fundraising events that will be taking place across Somerset throughout the autumn, aiming to raise £10,000 to ensure the survival, quality and diversity of the beloved Somerset rural touring scheme, now in its 25th year.
Take Art are delighted to have the support of Reg Meuross, described as ‘one of Britain’s finest living songwriters’ and Will Kaufman, a singer, multi-instrumentalist and Professor of American Culture, who is the author of the 2011 biography Woody Guthrie, American Radical.
Along with being an excellent show and a fantastic night of entertainment, everyone who buys a ticket for this event will be supporting the work of Take Art, the rural touring scheme and our wide reaching programme of community and education projects in schools, theatres, children's centres, residential homes and with vulnerable groups.
Howjidoo starts at 7:30pm at Axbridge Town Hall and tickets cost £10 for adults and £8 for under 16s. You can buy your tickets online at www.takeart.org or by calling the Axbridge promoter on 01934 732376.
The Don't Take Art Away fundraising campaign comes in the wake of the devastating 2011 local authority arts cuts.
