About this event

Virginia Kettle's Rolling Folk and Wet The Tea in Knutsford is on Saturday 19 December 2026 at Little Theatre, Knutsford, with doors at 19:00. Tickets start at £17.60, including the booking fee.

Her solo album ‘No Place Like Tomorrow’ was a critical and popular success, hitting the heights of No.1 in the Amazon Folk Charts within days of its release. ROLLING FOLK As a prolific writer of songs, Rolling Folk gives Virginia the chance to share a variety of songs not included in Merry Hell’s sets. It is not a replacement for the band, but an additional outlet for her creativity and energy. Offering the same level of songwriting excellence as Merry Hell, but a di...
