Phoenix Folk: An Evening with… Stewart Hardy @ On Zoom
Feb 9 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

It was lovely to be asked again by Maurice and Marina of Phoenix Folk to join them for one of their “An Evening With…” sessions. Once again, I’ll be playing a short solo set and then the three of us will play a selection from the extensive Phoenix Online Session tunebook together for viewers to either join in with, or sit back and enjoy. Pay as you feel using the Phoenix Folk tip jar.

An Evening With… Stewart Hardy – Sun 9th Feb, 7.00 – 8.30 pm on Zoom.
