St Agnes Fountain

Band, GB
Folk and World

UK folk band created in December 2001, performing “rhythmed-up” carols and Christmas music, interspersed with laughter and spoken word. The root of this band goes back to 1998, when David Hughes and Chris Leslie originally released an EP of six tracks, “Acoustic Christmas” on guitar and mandolin. It sold out in three months and that was that, but there was a clamour for more and, together with their friends, Chris While and Julie Matthews, they produced their first album, “St Agnes Fountain” in 2001. Not content with the album, the While & Matthews team organised a tour in December of that year and the response was overwhelming. Since then, St Agnes Fountain come together for one month a year for their ‘Christmas Tour ‘each December.
