Flore Arts Events was formed in 2016 in the village of Flore, Northamptonshire by a group of like-minded people with the objective of raising money for local charities through a programme of arts-related events and activities. Since our inception we have hosted a range of musical events from early music to jazz - not to mention poetry evenings and a silent movie night.​​

​

Many thanks to all of you who have so generously supported our events. We have now raised in excess of £30,000 for local charities

​

Track Dogs: Saturday September 27th 8.00pm (doors open 7.30pm). All Saints Church, Flore. Formed in the autumn of 2006 in Madrid around the core line-up of acoustic guitar, electric bass, trumpet and cajón, Track Dogs have since added banjo, ukulele and mandolin. A big part of their sound comes from their four-part vocal harmonies. Expect a smorgasbord of folk, rumba, jazz and blues from this band with a big reputation who have performed regularly at festivals across Europe.

Tickets £20; call Rosemary Read on 01327 341026 (between 9am and 6pm). Also from Re, 2A Sutton St, Flore, NN7 4LE (during shop opening hours).

De Parys Sextet: Saturday October 25th 7.30pm (doors open 7.00pm). All Saints Church, Flore. We’ll be hearing beautiful string music by Brahms (String Sextet no. 2 in G Major), Mozart (Grande Sestetto Concertante), Borodin (String Sextet in D Minor) and more from some of the area’s finest string players.

​

The De Parys line-up features Alex Collins and Alison Brown (violin), Hazel Farrow and Ben Phillips (viola) and Felicity Gibson and James Jarvis (Cello). This group of experienced orchestral musicians first came together for the Bella Ciao festival in Bedford last year. We’re delighted that they have now agreed to come to Flore to share their music with us.

​

Tickets: £15 (Under 18s £5): call Rosemary Read on 01327 341026 (between 9am and 6pm). Also from Re, 2A Sutton St, Flore, NN7 4LE (during shop opening hours).

​

Poetry Please: Sunday September 7th. The theme for this session will be “School Days”, which probably doesn’t need any further elaboration. As usual feel free to bring along any poem you would like to share, not necessarily related to the theme. Or just come and listen. Meet at the White Hart in Flore, 6.30pm to 8.00pm.

​

Our last event of the year will be in December: Neil Richardson entertains: The West End comes to Flore: Saturday December 6th. Millennium Hall, Flore. Further information to follow.
