What's on in Moss Bay

Cumbria, England

Moss Bay sits tucked away in Cumbria where the sea air keeps you honest and the local pubs know your name. There's usually a comedy night happening somewhere nearby to make the locals chuckle, while the library hosts story sessions that turn quiet evenings into proper adventures. The odd market stall pops up to sell jams or crafts made by neighbours who've spent the week canning. Near Here keeps track of all these local gatherings so you don't have to hunt through a dozen websites on a Saturday morning.

Live Music

Tom McConville & Michael Biggins – BBC Folk Musicians of the Year

Award-winning fiddle player and singer Tom McConville is internationally renowned for his fiery, heart-stopping performances. Winner of the BBC Folk Musician of the Year in 2009, he is truly the most original fiddle player in the UK. Blending traditional music from his hometown of Newcastle with Irish, American and Scottish influences, he creates a sound that has jazz, folk, bluegrass and classical influences. His live performances are a roller coaster of musical delights; fast rhythmic dance tunes through beautiful slow airs and great singing – all presented with his inimitable sense of humour and style. Seth Lakeman and Kate Rusby count him as a huge influence. Indeed, it was Seth who presented Tom with his Musician of the Year award.
