| 8.00pm | Denholm Village Hall Wild Sparrow 'Wild Sparrow' is a female harmony duo from North Cumbria who sing a mix of contemporary and traditional folk, roots and Americana songs. They can be spotted flitting between local events and festivals warbling their melodious songs.  Stephen and Pernille Quigg Songs from Scotland and beyond – the Danish/Scottish folk duo presents a unique tapestry of songs woven with a Celtic thread. Whether the material is traditional or contemporary the distinguishable mark of the Quiggs is the quality of the voices in harmony and the strength of the songs. "The cheerful banter, note-perfect performances, original songs that showed real class, and a wonderful rapport with their public meant this Quiggs concert was an evening to remember." Bob Leslie, Celtic Music Radio.  The Countess of Fife Fay Fife (Rezillos infamy) brings her alt-country influenced songs to Denholm. Steeped in eclectic Americana influences, Fay's personal stories lace her songs together: weaving in gritty lyrics, earthy twang and melodic hooks. Alchemy happens when Fay’s voice, spontaneity and natural verve come together, backed by some of Scotland’s finest musicians.  | £20 |
