Gareth Davies-Jones: Christmas Acoustic Tour 2025
We welcome acclaimed singer-songwriter Gareth Davies-Jones back to St Nick's for his Christmas acoustic tour 2025. Gareth brings a refreshing new perspective to Christmas favourites - some with the traditional melodies, and some with new. Gareth weaves stories between the songs telling of how some well-known carols came to be written. It will be a very special night to get us ready for the season.
