To help celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Ventnor Fringe Festival, the Isle of Wight Venue Campaign is adding to the programme with a popular returning show, as well as a new show in a new venue featuring three acts!
Charlie Dore and friends
Some might remember Charlie Dore from presenting Children’s TV show, Rainbow, but she’s now one of the UK’s most respected songwriters.
A mesmerising story-teller, she quickly swaps instruments, and stories of a life led in the company of friends and colleagues like Eric Idle, George Harrison, and Harry Nilsson.
A homegrown project in collaboration with multi instrumentalist Julian Littman of Steeleye Span, and virtuoso Double bass player, Gareth Huw Davies, who works with Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders) and Sir Willard White.
