Event:  Andover Music Club present The Mandolinquents - 3pm - Simon Mayor's Mandolinquents. Simon Mayor is one of the world’s leading mandolinists as well as a fine fiddle player, guitarist, composer and wit. His live performances are a riot of humorous anecdotes and off-the-cuff humour alongside dazzling musicianship. His many-faceted career includes two nights at Wembley Arena with the BBC Concert Orchestra, his own series on BBC Radio 2, an album in the Classic FM Top Ten chart, causing mayhem at a Canadian humour festival, and most memorably, a trip through the square window on BBC’s iconic Play School! He’s joined by an illustrious cast of virtuoso musicians playing everything from a Vivaldi mandolin concerto to a beautiful Irish ballad, a tempting tango, some hot-swing fiddle and a bluegrass banjo classic.
