Donnelly&SouthXmas

In December Keith Donnelly and Lauren South offer Donnelly and South's Christmas Cracker - a Christmas show with some crazy bits, a sackful of their singalong, wintry-wonderful songs. The best Christmas-Duo-Show this side of Morecambe & Bublé! A stocking-load of Keith’s hilarious seasonal anecdotes and jokes. The gift of a couple of scary solstice ghost stories. Pour on lashings of Lauren’s, silky-smooth, brandy-butter vocals. All wrapped up with fantastic festive guitars and yummy Yuletide fiddles.

"We were treated to an evening of music and merriment, courtesy of Donnelly and South and their ‘Christmas Cracker.' Lauren's honeyed voice and Keith's insane humour complemented each other. I only hope I can get the song, ‘The Police Nabbed Me Dad,”out of my brain! Thank you from Skirwith village hall."

"What a fab evening in our village hall - smiled and laughed throughout. Talented duo, beautiful singing and thoroughly enjoyed their ‘mash ups’ - clever! Loved the tadpole."

"It was a very enjoyable concert & so many happy smiling faces so thanks very much for coming to entertain us. I particularly enjoyed your singing. Hope the rest of your tour goes as well." - Hugh

“What an absolute joy it was to be part of one the best evening’s entertainment this year. Keith, “behaved”, when absolutely necessary and provided Lauren with skilfully played guitar accompaniments, whilst Lauren delivered some of the most beautifully melodic vocal lines I’ve heard. Superb! Wow! Excellent!” – Woodman Folk Club
