News and events
Will Page live at Staines Library Hub
Friday 25 September, from 6pm to 8pm
Join us for an evening of live acoustic folk music with Will Page, a Sussex-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (notably a fiddle player) whose work blends heartfelt storytelling, acoustic roots, and foot-stomping rhythms.
Well known as the fiddle-playing frontman of Folk/Rock/Americana band 'Noble Jacks' with international touring and festival success, Will is now presenting this duo show under his now established solo artist name, showcasing more traditional folk sensibilities, combining voice, guitar, fiddle, harmonica, and percussion.
Booking is essential. Tickets are donation-based, with a suggested minimum donation of £5 per person.
Book your ticket for Will Page live at Staines Library Hub

This performance is made possible by Applause Rural Touring, bringing high-quality live arts experiences to local communities.
