The night is organised by a friendly bunch who are happy to teach people new to the game and there are hot food, drinks and snacks available all night.

Damh the Bard at Glastonbury Assembly Rooms

Friday at 8:00 pm

Damh has always believed that his job is to entertain his audience and take them on a journey through the old stories and myths of this land. His audiences leave his concerts having been fully engaged by Damh, and with a deeper understanding of this land's ancient heritage.

He has performed extensively on the spiritual festival circuit in the UK, USA, Australia and Europe, and is as much at home playing to an intimate audience of 50 to playing to 1500+ at the larger venues.
