About the band
St Agnes Fountain are about to embark on their 9th consecutive sell-out Christmas tour. Since their first get together, to record the eponymous St Agnes Fountain album in 2001, the quartet of founder, David Hughes; Fairport Convention's Chris Leslie and this year's BBC Folk Awards Best Duo, Chris While and Julie Matthews, have brought musical invention and laughter to the star-dust atmosphere of the season.
They have now released six treasured albums (four studio and two live CDs) including last year's acclaimed "Soal Cake" but it is, without question, their magical live performances that have endeared them to an ever-growing audience (tickets were actually being sold for this year's tour as the curtain fell last year).
They are already finalizing their tenth anniversary tour in 2010 but, before that, they hope to bring you, this December, more of their sparkling musicianship, humour and heartful renditions of your favourite Christmas tunes both original and those you know so well (or thought you did).
Christmas, as they say, starts with St Agnes Fountain.
