The New Scorpion Band are touring their Christmas programme 'The Carnal and the Crane' from the end of November, at venues in the south west, one or two in the south east and four dates up north (North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire). It's an (as you'd imagine) amazing mix of midwinter music, from the reflective to the roistering, with seasonal readings and a Mummers Play!
