It's back to back weekends for , with forest of fools joining us this Sunday!

More than just good, have been described as a genre defining band. Really fresh with fat drumlines, truly funked-up sousaphone-driven bass, overlain with high-energy English folk riffs. Folk-dance fusion like you've never (if ever) heard before!

Join us from 7pm this Sunday 10th October for a livestream event that's sure to get you and your living room jumping!

21/08/2021

The wonderful Wednesday's Wolves are joining us for the eighth edition of tomorrow evening from 7pm.

The female contemporary folk duo from Oxfordshire will be taking the stage to delight us all with their simple use of guitar riffs, vocal harmonies and percussive instruments such as cajon and glockenspiel to create emotive and evocative music - usually with a melancholic edge.

Live At The Kiln is a livestream series produced by Community Arts Resource Centre in association with Arts Gateway MK and Arts Central that showcases new and emerging musicians as well as the myriad of equipment has to offer performance artists.

What better a way to relax into your Sunday evening?

continues this Saturday with a Togfest special - will be headlining the stage after a day of recordings and livestreams by bands who would otherwise have been on stage were the festival to have gone ahead.

It's saddening for all that great, live and local music still hasn't returned to Milton Keynes, but we are nonetheless thrilled to be helping keep the festival spirit alive and kicking.
