Featuring the spellbinding vocals of Anna Sheard and the beautiful guitar work of Jim McCulloch (Soup Dragons/BMX Bandits), and with a reputation for transforming venues into intimate, dream-like soundscapes, this promises to be a special night of evocative musical storytelling to open the inaugural Shepton Midsummer Fest. Youtube clip: Snowgoose Jayefel J Fashole-Luke (Jayefel) is a multi-instrumentalist who is in high demand particularly for live piano performances so what a treat to have him performing on the beautiful grand piano of St Peter & St Paul’s.
