Announcing Richard Durrant’s 2024 Midwinter Shows with guest musicians: Amy Kakoura, Howard Beach, Daisy Durrant, Django Durrant & Rooney Durrant-Davies.

‘With six of us singing there will be an extra richness to this year’s shows – not to mention a certain Howard Beach on keys. Expect some Vivaldi and Bach amongst the Pagan dancing.’

Says Richard

Richard and friends are pleased to include shows in St John the Baptist Church, Coventry and Scopwick Village Hall, Lincolnshire.

And what a tour it was as Richard Durrant shared his love of Paraguayan music, in particular that of the great Mangoré with audiences in England, Wales and Scotland.

‘I reconnected with many special people including lots of friends from my rural touring days. Some of the venues also felt like old friends. The two new dates on the tour, Alnwick Playhouse and The Acorn Penzance, were magical. Thanks one and all for your support and hard work.

Says Richard
Pluck Plank Studio

Richard will perform highlights of the show and then lead a discussion. You do not need to be a guitarist to attend as all are welcome to come and visit Richard’s musical HQ. Limited numbers available.

There is a free ticket for the PluckPlankStudio event for the first person to explain what is going on in this photograph:
