About This Event
Frankie Armstrong has been singing professionally since 1964, and has sung and run workshops all over Europe, North America and Australia, working in every kind of setting from hospitals to the National Theatre in London. She began running her pioneering voice workshops, based on ethnic styles of singing – where singing is as natural as speaking – in 1975, and is the president of the Natural Voice Network. Her singing of the big traditional ballads is famous, but she also performs political, lyrical and comic songs, among others.

About Organiser

The Alpaca
The Alpaca – an independent pub with a love for food and drink and a community-minded nature
The Alpaca was born in March 2020 and established itself serving the local area with hot meals, ready-made cocktails and great wine to enjoy for takeaway. This bumpy start to life, whilst challenging, made us who we are today as we got talking to our neighbours and cemented ourselves as the friendly local pub we’d aspired to be.
If you haven’t visited us before, why not pop by and see what we’re about.We pride ourselves on being inclusive; with a warm welcome for all and whether you’re a solo pub-goer popping in for a lunchtime pint or a group of mates out to celebrate – we’ve got you covered and catered for.
Early-week we’re the friendly local boozer with a fine array of beers, cocktails, wines and non-alcoholic options. Whilst at the weekends, we take it up a gear with music you might not hear anywhere else and a grown-up late-night drinking vibe.
The week is finished off with our famous Sunday roasts, all cooked from scratch and with something for everyone. Our sharing roast platters are particularly popular with groups of mates and families.
