Women have been active in brewing since ancient times. From the earliest evidence of brewing in 7000 BCE until the commercialisation of brewing during industrialization, women were the primary brewers on all inhabited continents. Music and drinking have always made good bedfellows, and with that in mind, could there be a more perfect setting for a recital that champions women composers and performed by a leading trio of women musicians? Tonight’s performers have a shared passion for storytelling and rediscovering neglected works for this unusual combination of instruments. Come and enjoy prize-winning beers alongside prize-winning performers set under the impressive tanks that overlook Springwell Brewery’s unique taproom.

*Doors 7PM, music 8PM
