St Leonard-at-the-Hythe, 24 Jun 2026
Free event
FREE ENTRY
A coup for St Leonard's as we welcome JULIE MURPHY, singer and songwriter, to Colchester for an intimate solo performance by exploring the natural voice as a central and unifying instrument through folk song, art song, poetry and personal songwriting.
London born, Essex raised, Julie has travelled extensively with music, both solo and with Fernhill, the experimental folk group she formed with her partner Ceri Rhys Matthews who she met at art school in Kent in 1979. Julie settled in Wales with Ceri, a native Welsh speaker, after college, learning the language and raising their children bilingually. They live in rural Carmarthenshire.
Join us for this FREE evening in the magnificent St Leonard-at-the-Hythe church. Refreshments available.
The 54 bus stops (by request) right outside the Church, and Hythe railway station is just 5 minutes walk away
Architecturally interesting redundant church
