The Cavern Beatles
2026-04-15 19:30 - 22:00 | Regal Tenbury Wells, 49 Teme Street, Tenbury Wells WR15 8AE
63 years to the day since The Beatles played Tenbury… The Cavern Beatles are returning to the Regal for a special anniversary concert!
Endorsed and licensed by the now legendary Cavern Club, where The Beatles famously performed, The Cavern Beatles are one of the country’s longest established tribute shows.
This new tour will celebrate The Beatles Touring Years of 1963 through to 1966.

The Hildasholm Festival Ensemble
2026-04-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Hellens, Much Marcle, HR8 2LY
Musicians
Elisabeth Zeuthen Schneider – Violin
Toke Møldrup – Cello
Daniele Rinaldo – Piano
This talented trio played at Hellens in summer 2025 and the organisers are delighted to welcome them again in April 2026.
The first half of the programme opens with a grand Bach piece: a ‘Triosonata’ where three voices -violin, left and right hand of keyboard – tease and baffle.
The Debussy cello sonata was conceived as a tribute to the baroque masters Couperin and Rameau and has a beautiful intimate atmosphere
The Janácek ‘Pohádka’ (Fairytale) is inspired by an epic Russian poem and rounds off the first half of the concert on a fantastic note.
After the break we set sail for the Beethoven trio: The name ‘Archduke’ refers to the dedication from Rudolph of Austria, an amateur pianist, a friend and piano student of Beethoven. The title shadows a bit for the wonderful inspired piece, which happened to become the last piece that Beethoven performed in public. His deafness was at this point so grave that he could not hear himself – let alone the violin and cello. Despite the intense anguish Beethoven must have felt at this time, he composes a piece of great beauty and optimism. The programme is a tour de force – all pieces playing up to the large, wonderful Beethoven trio that is one of Beethoven’s greatest works.
Tickets: £20 (free to full-time students and carers) – available to book via the Hellens website

Male Voice Choir Spectacular
2026-04-18 19:00 - 21:30 | Great Malvern Priory, WR14 2AY
70 Voices. One Roof. One Unmissable Night: Male Voice Choir Spectacular Set to Shake Great Malvern Priory
Malvern is set to resonate with powerful harmony this spring as three dynamic male voice choirs unite for one unforgettable musical event.
On Saturday 18 April 2026 at 7pm, the stunning Great Malvern Priory will host a Male Voice Choir Spectacular – a rare coming together of voices, tradition, and sheer vocal power.
Leading the evening is Malvern Male Voice Choir, proudly part of the town’s musical heartbeat for over a century. They’ll be joined by two exceptional visiting ensembles: the vibrant Bois Goetre-Hen Male Choir from Bridgend, South Wales, and the newly united Vauxhall Luton Male Voice Choir, blending proud Bedfordshire legacies into one exciting sound.
Bois Goetre-Hen may be one of Wales’ newer choirs – founded in 2009 – but it’s already hitting remarkable heights, chalking up an astonishing number of performances – this concert in Malvern being its 350th – with a fresh, modern repertoire alongside beloved Welsh classics.
Meanwhile, Vauxhall Luton Male Voice Choir represents a bold new chapter, formed from the merger of two long-standing choirs, bringing renewed energy, ambition, and musical flair.
Malvern’s own conductor, Charles Pavey, explains: ‘Malvern Male Voice Choir has been a well-known part of the town’s musical fabric since 1922. During last year both of the visiting choirs contacted us separately and, very quickly, the idea of a massed choir concert was born. We are wishing to stage something very special and our visitors are wishing to explore the beauty of the Malvern Hills and enjoy the glories of the best acoustic in town! So come and enjoy a couple of hours of song with the considerable sound of three choirs, offering a wonderfully varied mix of music to guarantee a thoroughly entertaining evening.’
Interval refreshments available.
Don’t miss your chance to experience the thrilling sound of three choirs as one – this is Malvern at its musical best.
Tickets: £15 (adults) / £5 (under 18s) – available to book online as well as on the door

Lady Maisery
2026-04-19 19:30 - 22:00 | Colwall Village Hall, Mill Lane, Colwall, WR13 6EQ
Individually three multi award-winning artists, Lady Maisery form a unified voice, carrying stories of sisterhood, human struggle, the joy of living and the vitality of song with the “freshest possible take on traditional music” (Folk Radio UK). Their long-standing effervescent collaboration has been described as “adventurous and beautiful” (Mark Radcliffe, Radio 2) “exquisite and thrilling” (The Guardian) with “a generosity of spirit and joie de vivre that seems to emanate from every minute of their recorded output as well as from their exuberant live shows” (Folk Radio UK).
Their fifth studio album Tender was released at the end of 2022 to far-reaching acclaim. An arresting record exploring the power in vulnerability, the tenderness of collective wounds and the strength in kindness, it was hailed “a beguiling blend of ancient and modern” (The Times) and “both nurturing and raw, a sensitive response to the times we are living in” (Daily Info).
Tender entered the Official Indie Album Charts at number 18, the Official Indie Album Breakers Chart at number 3 (rare accolades for British folk!) before spending a whole year in the Official Folk Chart Top 40.
