“Last year, the Ticknall gig was one of the absolute tour highlights for me and the band,” says Annie. “It was a free, late Sunday afternoon show, outside a village pub and honestly I had no idea what to expect. But it swelled to what felt like 200 happy faces, with people singing along to our John Prine and The Band song covers. Annie is a regular visitor to these shores, with an annual late summer/autumn tour but also several one-off trips over for festivals. The gig is in the marquee at the top of the Chequers pub garden and the music will start around 5pm.
