The Christmas Dinner Shindi

Join us for an evening of music from local artists – Great music, great vibes and all for a good cause!

Get ready for a vibrant festive musical treat at the Christmas Dinner Shindig! Join us in person for an evening of live music from talented local artists including Neil Bob Herd, Gabriella Damshenas, Kotchin and PushComesTo Shove … and plenty of holiday cheer, including a fundraising raffle!

This special evening will take place at the Southcliff Hotel, Folkestone, on Friday 12th December, 7.30-10pm.

Not only will you enjoy a wonderful evening’s entertainment, but you’ll be contributing to an amazing cause – The Christmas Dinner, Folkestone – A Christmas Day event delivered by volunteers each year for care-experienced young people aged 18-25 years who may otherwise be alone at Christmas.

It’s the perfect way to kick back, relax into the festive season, and start your celebrations with friends old and new — we can’t wait to see you there!

More about our performers:

Neil Bob Herd – Renowned international Scots-Americana singer songwriter, with a particular brand of heartfelt and wryly witty sounds.

Gabriella Damshenas – Stunning vocals that will take any listener on a journey. A vintage jazz sound with angelic but haunted undertones. One not to be missed!

Kotchin – Singer songwriter extracting elements from folk, blues and country music. Thought-provoking lyrics with memorable hooks.

PushComesToShove – Emotionally resonant and dynamic multi-instrumentalist, with covers ranging from The Cure to Van Morrison and strong, melodic songwriting.
