Christ Church Newburgh
Back Lane Newburgh Wigan, WN8 7XB, United Kingdom

Come and join us in Church for an afternoon with renowned folk singer Mark Dowding, who brings history to life with his songs.

Mark is also an historian and a dialect scholar and for every song he sings, he can give you the history of that song: who wrote it, the social climate at the time it was written and its meaning.
