CHRIS Newman and Máire Ní Chathasaigh will bring the sound of Christmas to Settle's Victoria Hall on Saturday.

They will perform Celtic Christmas Strings - a festive feast of harp and guitar.

Individually famed for originality, innovation and virtuosity on their respective instruments, the duo has created one of the most distinctive voices in modern acoustic music.

Their new Christmas show features a blend of traditional Irish music, swing jazz and bluegrass, plus festive favourites given a fresh voice with arrangements that are intricate, inventive, moving and beautiful.

The concert starts at 8pm and tickets are available from settlevictoriahall.org.uk or ring 01729 825718.
