Fire & Rain

Fire and Rain is not a tribute or sound-a-like act. It's simply a collection of six of the best musicians from the North of England coming together to play music they love. Expect the classic James Taylor songs including Steamroller Blues, Shower the People, Fire and Rain and, of course, Youve got a Friend plus many other classics played with skill, passion, emotion, humour and humility. Fire and Rain are all highly regarded musicians in their own right and include Tom Townsend (Lead Guitar and vocals), Rich Adams (Acoustic Guitar, vocals and triangle!) and Mark Gordon (Keyboards), Rowan Oliver (percussion) with Paul Tilley (Drums) and Bob Walker (bass). They occasionally put their own individual musical projects aside to perform the music they love and aspired them to perform, and to and to bring the joy of James Taylor's music to you in what they call a magical musical holiday. Building upon the success of the last few years, having performed at various venues including theatres, Fire and Rain are delighted to be able to bring this wonderful concert to Howden Live at The Shire Hall once again. Join with them to celebrate with you the songs and music of iconic singer songwriter James Taylor, from his earliest songs to his most recent, in what will be a memorable evening of first class entertainment.
