Eliza Carthy graces the Howard Assembly Room stage this Christmas – joined by an illustrious band of her friends and family for an evening of seasonal joy!
For two nights only, Eliza, her cousin Marry Waterson and their friends Jon Boden and Emily Portman, will turn Howard Assembly Room into a cosy Christmas living room party.
Amongst seasonal classic folk songs, be entertained by games and stories of family rituals from across the years. Jon and Eliza will perform material from last year’s seminal Wassail! album, and Eliza and Marry will lift the veil on growing up with the Watersons and the huge, warm and welcoming Christmases they shared on the legendary farm on the North Yorkshire moors.
In the tradition of sharing stories, why not bring a festive story, or a tale of Christmas tradition to share?
On Friday night, there will be a post-show Open Session in Kino, led by musicians from the Leeds folk scene.
Open from Tuesday to Saturday, Kino is our restaurant and bar located below the Howard Assembly Room, presenting the best independent food, beers and wines.
