POPULAR folk act Maddy Prior is back at Worcester's Huntingdon Hall, accompanied by the Carnival Band.

What began as a one-off collaboration for a Radio 2 Christmas special is now a regular partnership, with five albums released.

The latest, Carols and Capers, sees them putting their unique stamp on a range of familiar and not-so-familiar festive material, while exploring some new and exotic directions.

The live show features Christmas music played on medieval and modern instruments. The concert is on Monday, December 3 at 8pm. Tickets, at £17.50, are available from the box office on 01905 611427.
