Martello Promotions will be hosting their first Acoustic Music Day at the Canopy Theatre in Hungate Church Beccles on 28 April next year.

The event will be limited to just 160 tickets and as these are likely to sell out quickly, we want to give priority to local residents. For this reason tickets will initially be available only to personal callers at Beccles Books (1 Exchange Square, Beccles) during January 2018. On-line sales will be opened to the wider public from 1st February.

Subscribers to the Martello on-line mailing list (who are all local residents) are being given the opportunity to reserve their tickets now. Anyone who wishes to join the list can do so simply by sending an e-mail to Martin at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . They will then be told how tickets can be collected and paid for during January.

There will be 7 top quality acts performing over the day:
Gilmore & Roberts - three times nominated for the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards

Doghouse Roses - from Glasgow

Joseph Parsons - on tour from the USA

Alden, Paterson & Dashwood - Norwich folk/Americana trio

Penny & Stuart Mack (who recently returned to Suffolk at our Songwriters’ Circle

Honey & The Bear - folk and roots duo from the Woodbridge area


The Burkitt Family – a four-piece group, featuring guitar, flute, fiddle and cello.

Tickets to see all seven acts are only £20.

There will be a licensed bar on the premises provided by the Wine Vaults Bar & Restaurant who will also be providing catering.
