Ambleside Days Festival in honour of John Taylor
August 31st – September 3rd 2017
Gwilym to play with Dave Holland in four “double bill” concerts at Ambleside Festival
The brand new Ambleside Festival will feature Dave Holland, Norma Winstone, Tim Garland, Asaf Sirkis, John Halliwell, Gwilym Simcock, Mike Walker, Nikki Iles, Mark Lockheart, Steve Watts, James Maddren, Darrell Hall and Joe Locke – all musicians inspired by the great British pianist John Taylor.
The concerts will take place over 4 days in the cinema at Zeffirelli’s and Gwilym will be playing on all four evenings. You can book your tickets now on the Ambleside Days website.
Ambleside and the surrounding area has been the creative inspiration for many great artists, poets and musicians over the centuries: Beatrix Potter, William Wordsworth, Thomas De Quincy, Samuel Coleridge, John Ruskin, Kurt Shwitters, Russell Mills and Steve Coogan.
Derek Hook has been running music concerts in Ambleside for many years and it was on his piano that John Taylor composed his famous suite “Ambleside Days”.
