Musical fireworks are guaranteed as peerless, legendary pianist Brian Kellock makes a welcome return to Playtime! He'll be joined by Martin Kershaw (saxes), Graeme Stephen (guitar), Mario Caribe (bass) and Tom Bancroft (drums), with a programme of classic standards that will bring joy to your ears and balm to your souls!
The concert will be LIVE at Pathhead Village Hall (11 Main Street, Pathhead, EH37 5PZ) on Friday 5 November at 8.15pm (doors 7.30pm).
Tickets are £15/person (although you can pay more if you wish!) and can be purchased via this link: http://ctzn.tk/playtime. Please note tickets are for entry to the concert at Pathhead Village Hall ONLY, NOT the livestream.
The audience will be spread around the hall seated in households/parties. To make this easier and look/feel better we won’t be using tables. Feel free to bring something portable to rest your drinks on!
Naturally, whilst we are delighted to be able to welcome you to Pathhead Village Hall, there are still a number of Covid restrictions we would request you follow:
• Physical distancing must be observed for the duration – we will have the hall marked out to indicate the seating plan. We would ask that audience members do not congregate in certain areas (such as toilets, entry/exit or refreshment points) which could make physical distancing difficult. • Masks must be worn when moving around. • There will be table service for drinks orders from the bar adjoining the venue. Please note that the bar is CASH ONLY. • We will need to take contact details of all attendees.
