Saturday Evening at the Minster
Wimborne Minster is the name of the historic church as well as the name of the town. It's a wonderful setting for music and we have two shows - Saturday Teatime at the Minster at 4pm, and this Evening concert at 7.30pm. Tickets for each available separately, or save with a combined ticket (or a Weekend Pass).
Paul Walker & Karen Pfeiffer
Saturday Evening at the Minster
With their unique onstage chemistry and widely praised harmonies, the Anglo-German duo Paul Walker & Karen Pfeiffer charmingly present innovative acoustic folk & beyond by combining their own beautifully written songs with imaginatively arranged traditional and contemporary folk favourites. Paul’s vocal and guitar style blended with Karen’s voice, clear yet powerful, leaves audiences mesmerised. The duo have been touring their show, signifying Paul's Staffordshire heritage and Karen's German ‘humour’, around the world. A memorable performance of great music entertainment… In brief: enchanting, entertaining, uplifting.

Painted Sky
Saturday Evening at the Minster
Painted Sky have only recently emerged onto the UK folk scene but have already made a lasting impression with their progressive acoustic sound. Siblings George (guitar/vocal) and Holly Brandon (fiddle/vocal) have been making music together for as long as they can remember. Both have worked on independent projects, with Holly perhaps best known as part of transatlantic folk band, The Magpies. However, the siblings have always been drawn back to each other’s playing, tight-knit instrumentals and harmonies.
Original material thoughtfully balances the duo’s roots in traditional English music. Honest vocals and timeless storytelling, underpinned by driving rhythms. Exquisite instrumentals weave delicate finger-picking guitar and soaring fiddle with a dynamic energy. Read more here Watch Painted Way
Craig Joiner
Saturday Evening at the Minster
Although Craig has forged a career and won repute in the rock arena, folk music has always been his true muse and calling. Whether recalling a love lost, celebrating the calming beauty of nature or relating the epic tale of a struggle at sea, Craig’s songs are informed by experience, observation, vivid imagination and a desire to take his music “deeper into folk”.
As a dextrous and highly accomplished guitarist, Craig is fully equipped to play out his compositions against an acoustic musical backdrop which perfectly suits his subject matter and vocal delivery.
