You have arrived at the humble home pages of Barnsley Wheelhouse Concerts and Wombwell Festival. These pages are a work in progress but are simple and to the point and should load quickly so you can find what you're looking for easily.

During 2009 we will be staging a series of concert evenings featuring the best of British and touring American folk, roots, acoustic artistes. The setting is either a marquee on our lawn complete with PA, Halogen heaters (Yorkshire weather you never know) or alternatively in our Log Cabin (4m x 7m) with food served at the interval. We think it's the perfect setting. Room for up to 35 guests.
Get in touch for an invite or for adding to our mailing list and come and meet Rory.

ABOUT US:
Barnsley house concerts held its first show in the summer of 2006 with the excellent Winter Wilson
followed by the equally impressive Jess Gardham. 2008 shows included Guy Maile, Chris & Kellie While and from Tennessee
Stacey Earle & Mark Stuart. 2009 will provide a full concert season. House concerts are a really good way of getting up close to the artistes in an informal setting and meeting new friends.
House concerts are actually private events. You cannot just turn up as we are not open to the public. Only invited guests are allowed to attend.
How it Works:
When details of concerts are finalized they will be added to this site. If you then e mail us requesting to
attend you will be given details of times etc. You then must send us your donation in advance as places are limited to 35 and we cant afford to turn people away then get 'no shows'. Recommended donations are usually £10. Concerts start at 8:00 with normally 2 sets and a 30-45min break for food finishing around 10:45pm. We do not make any profit from these shows in fact they cost us money. All donations are passed on to the artistes. By the time we've arranged it all and provided food we're out of pocket. We just love
doing it. It's a great buzz and a brilliant atmosphere and what better way to see live music than this.
Come along as our guests and experience it, you wont be disappointed.
