Christmas Cheer

A programme of traditional audience favourites sprinkled with some surprises, accompanied by the vibrant sound of Boe-Jigge.

Boe-Jigge is a collaboration of five musicians who are all experienced composers and performers in their own right. They bring a mix of folk, jazz, classical, blues and theatre influences and from their first performances in early 2023, they have consistently delighted audiences with their intricate and good-humoured music.
