THE EPIC… WALNUT DASH!
PRESS RELEASE May 16th 2017
The Walnuts are a group of middle-aged musicians from Berkshire who play Celtic music, Folk and Americana.
Between June 28th and July 4th 2017 they will be travelling together in a motorhome all the way to Oslo and back, to play a series of concerts in aid of Alzheimer’s care and research and in Amsterdam for Hope Beyond Displacement.
They will be stopping along the way for refreshment, and will play music wherever they stop, regardless of whether anyone has asked them to do so. The only way to cease them playing will be to put money into their cake tin.
Get your diaries out.
The BBC Berkshirepalooza, Waltzing, Beekeeping and Buddy Holly, but more importantly get in touch now and organise your own Seven Songs.

As of September 2015, we’ve played nearly 50 gigs now (or 55 if you include radio and other odds and sods), raised £5300 for Alzheimer’s Society and a couple of other charities on the way, including the Alice Gross Music Trust which I think raised about £700. Continue reading
