Well, Merry Hell were just great. What a fabulous night. A sellout crowd at Mottram enjoyed an evening full of great songs and a lot of laughs.

Just a quick reminder that it's just a few days now until we welcome the wonderful Merry Hell to our lovely village. We are almost sold out, so please buy your ticket online if you want to join us. PLEASE NOTE: We won't be selling tickets on the door (other than to those who have already reserved theirs) as we need to ensure that we don't exceed the maximum capacity of the venue. Do not miss out on what will be another great night at Mottram St Andrew!

MERRY HELL is a band founded on the ever evolving Folk tradition – music made by the people and shared by the people. If you ever loved The Tansads then your heart will go out to Merry Hell.

Well, Edwina Hayes was just amazing at Mottram last night. A thoroughly entertaining evening… so funny… and what a voice! As well as her own brilliant songs she covered everything from John Prine to Sting via folk classics by the likes of Sandy Denny and Dougie MacLean… and what a lovely lady. If you get chance to see her near you, go, you will not be sorry.

Coming up on Saturday we have the wonderful Edwina Hayes. Edwina is one of the finest singer-songwriters this country has produced in years. Edwina brings together Folk, Americana and the rich Northern singer-songwriter tradition to create a sound that’s truly her own.

She’s toured with a wide variety of musicians such as Jools Holland, Van Morrison and Nanci Griffith, who covered one of her songs and described her as ‘the sweetest voice in England’.

Her cover of the Randy Newman song Feels Like Home was featured in the Cameron Diaz film My Sister’s Keeper and has since had over ten million plays on Spotify and over thirty million plays on You Tube.

Well, Martyn Joseph always gives 100% and Martyn's latest visit to Mottram was no exception. Some classic tracks from his extensive back catalogue and some great new songs from his brand new album 'Troubled Horses.' Wonderful songs delivered with real passion and consummate guitar technique… and what a lovely bloke! Thanks to Martyn and everybody who came along to make it another very special night. Lets do it all again in 2026!

Not long now til the wonderful Martyn Joseph makes a welcome return to Mottram. If you've seen him before you'll know just how good a Martyn Joseph concert is… If you haven't seen him, do not miss him here on 22nd November. Still a few tickets left but it's going to be a full house… so don't miss out!

We are very sorry but MERRY HELL
have had to postpone their gig at Mottram this Saturday 18th October due to illness. Three of the band are unwell and they had no option other than to cancel.

However, they are very keen to rearrange the gig and we shall endeavour to reschedule as soon as possible.

Ticket holders can request a refund or hold on to their tickets which will be valid for the rearranged date.

Obviously we are sorry for any inconvenience caused, especially at such short notice.

Thank you to Tom Kitching and Marit Fält for another wonderful night of entertainment at Mottram. Outstanding musicianship, funny and informative… Where There's Brass, Tom's musical account of his travels to, and around, London on a working narrowboat, was just great. Thanks to everybody who came along and helped make it another special night at Mottram. Check out or website for a full review in the near future.

Coming up next at Mottram we have old friends Tom Kitching and Marit Fält. Those of you who've seen Tom before will know, as well as some wonderful fiddle playing, he'll be entertaining us with tales from his latest travels. 'Where There's Brass' documents six months living in the London waterways community, having made the long journey across England from Manchester on a traditional narrowboat.
Marit Fält, brought up in Norway of Swedish parentage, is a multi-instrumentalist perhaps best known as an astonishing mandola player.

The lad is one of the best fiddlers I've ever heard - he breathes life into the tunes. He is also a very fine writer. Tom is a wise and witty guide to England - Mike Harding
