There were musical fireworks on the stage as Belfast band Craobh Rua entertained a folk audience to their brand of traditional Irish music.

And they joked that Worcester had even "arranged" a bomb scare in the city centre to make them feel at home!

Their blend of jigs and jokes is the complete antidote to modern lIving. With uilleann pipes, flute, banjo and guitar, the quartet thrilled with dexterous fingering. Folk music served up to the laid-back with a charming delivery.
