The Albion Christmas Band in Kendal

The Albion Christmas Band brings its seasonal show to Kendal for a festive evening of folk rock. Rooted in the tradition of the Albion Band—a cornerstone of British folk rock since the 1970s—this Christmas incarnation was first established in 2005 by bandleader Ashley Hutchings, a founding member of Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span. Attendees can expect traditional carols and folk tunes performed by musicians who have shaped the genre for decades.

The concert offers a chance to experience the legacy of the Albion Band in an intimate setting. The lineup features the Albion Christmas Band itself, carrying forward the spirit of Hutchings' long career. For fans of English folk music, this is a rare opportunity to see a living piece of musical history in a festive context.

The venue in Kendal provides a backdrop for an evening of authentic folk rock with a Christmas twist.
