The Gathering was born In 2009 when Peter Barton put together a gathering of exceptional musicians including Jerry Donahue (Fairport Convention), Clive Bunker (Jethro Tull), Rick Kemp (Steeleye Span), Ray Jackson (musician) (Lindisfarne), Doug Morter (The Albion Band) and Kristina Donahue.

The band toured extensively to amazing reviews but sadly the band disbanded several years ago.

But now a new era is emerging with the Gathering MKII.

There is free entry to the show and the doors open at 7-30pm with a support act on stage at 8pm and the main stars on stage at 9pm.
