SUMMARY:Active Buggies at Southern Town Park\, Abingdon
DESCRIPTION:An outdoor fitness session designed for post-natal participants \nExercises will consist of fast walking\, jogging and a bit of running with or without the buggy\, but feel free to do what makes you feel comfortable. I give everyone the option as most people won’t be at the running stages just yet! We do a mixture of squats and lunges; these again can be done with or without the buggy and we do other exercises that work the upper body as well as the lower body. I also do some floor exercises where we work on strengthening the core muscles – nothing too strenuous.

SUMMARY:Honey & the Bear with support TBC
DESCRIPTION:We’re pleased to welcome back to The Unicorn Theatre Honey & the Bear who have been a tour de force on the UK Folk Festival circuit in recent years. The British folk and roots duo combine delicately interweaving vocal harmonies with emotive and evocative songwriting. With a diverse range of sounds and textures\,and rhythms that flow from the fast and furious to gentle ballads\, their live performances are spirited and dynamic. Conjuring stories in song\, they tell tales of Suffolk folklore\, courageous people they admire and their passion for nature which has been enchanting audiences up and down the country. \nThe multi-instrumentalist\, husband and wife team comprised of songwriters Jon Hart (guitar\, bass\, bouzouki) and Lucy Hart (guitar\, ukulele\, bass\, banjo\, mandolin & percussion)\, are often joined on-stage by band guests Evan Carson (percussion)\, Toby Shaer (Fiddle/Flutes/Whistles) and Archie Churchill-Moss (diatonic button accordion) who feature on all three Honey & The Bear studio albums. Together they have played at many revered venues and festivals across the UK as well as travelled across the channel. \nIn November 2023 they released their latest album ‘Away Beyond the Fret’\, their most personal album yet\, featuring stories and folklore of all things close to their heart including their home in Suffolk\, nature\, family\, history and community. The album has received much critical acclaim including 5 stars from the Morning Star. Shortlisted as FATEAs best band of 2023\, they are continuing to enjoy performing their repertoire live as part of their 10 Year Anniversary Tour this year.\n2020 and the onset of the coronavirus pandemic saw the duo grounded and all gigs cancelled\, but their music prevailed in the form of Sunday night facebook livestreams of which they performed thirty-two throughout the year 2020. After challenging themselves to write a new song for the first 12 weeks of the livestream\, they successfully managed to produce a second album. \n‘Journey Through the Roke’ was released on 23rd April 2021. The album features many talented musicians including Toby Shaer (whistles\, harmonium\, flute\, fiddle\, bass)\, Evan Carson (drums\, bodhran\, percussion)\, Archie Churchill Moss of Moore Moss Rutter (melodeon) and Graham Coe of The Jellyman’s Daughter (cello). ‘Journey Through the Roke’ has received airplay on the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show. \nTheir first full studio album ‘Made In The Aker’ (released July 2019) was followed by a UK tour as a four piece band in October 2019. The album was well received by both their ever growing fan base and the critics. Born and raised in Suffolk\, Lucy learned violin and drums at school\, sung in the Suffolk Jubilee choir and started songwriting at age 15. She taught herself guitar whilst at university in Canterbury\, and began performing her creations not long afterwards. At 27\, she released her debut band album ’Step Right On’\, songs from which you now hear her perform with Jon. Jon\, a Yorkshire boy\, raised in Cambridgeshire\, Norfolk and Suffolk\, has been performing his own songs since his teens. A self taught guitarist\, his love of driving guitar riffs is a core aspect of his song writing process. He has released three band albums\, the latest of which was entitled ‘Level with me’\, featuring ‘wristburner’ which is a gig favourite. \n“a celebration of nature\, history\, family and community. Truly in the folk tradition.” – Steve Johnson – Morning Star \n“Dexterously played with beautifully crafted arrangements around a perfect pairing of voices delivering personal\nfine songs this is a stunning album.” – Marc Higgins – FATEA \n“This album is one of the clearest recordings I’ve heard in a decade\, holding its head above the roke and into the\nsunlight on every track” – Seán Laffey\, Irish Music Magazine \n“The vocals of Lucy are as beautiful as ever….and she is now one of this country’s best folk singers” – Stephen Foster\,\nRadio Caroline & EADT \nSupport TBC \nDors and bar at 7pm\, music at 7:15pm
