A MULTI-AWARD winning quartet will play two gigs in South Petherton as part of its latest UK tour in December.

Since their first get-together, to record the eponymous St Agnes Fountain album in 2001, the quartet - David Hughes, Fairport Convention's Chris Leslie, and multi-award-winning duo Chris While and Julie Matthews - have brought musical invention and laughter to the star-dust atmosphere of the season.

In 2020, David decided to leave the band to concentrate on solo pursuits, and whilst his presence will be missed, Chris, Chris, and Julie will be keeping the Christmas Aggie spirit alive and touring as a trio celebrating 21 years together with a tour of the new material and reworking those old Aggie classics.

'The Aggie's' latest album, Night Of A Million Stars was released in time for the December 2021 tour with 9 brand new songs from the band.

Although the albums accompany the putting up of a thousand Christmas trees throughout Britain and around the globe as their reputation reaches further afield, it is, without question, the magical live performances that have endeared them to an ever-growing audience (tickets were again being sold for this year's tour as the curtain fell last year).

Here is when and where St Agnes Fountain will be in South Petherton and Honiton:

Friday, December 9, David Hall Arts;
Saturday, December 10, David Hall Arts;
Thursday, December 15, Honiton, The Beehive.
