FOLK performers Martin Carthy and John Kirkpatrick will perform a one-night-only show at the Memo Arts Centre, Barry.

The pair embark on a rare UK duo tour, which comes to Barry on Thursday, March 2.

These two interpreters of English folk traditions – folk guitarist/singer Carthy and squeezebox virtuoso/singer Kirkpatrick – are long-time collaborators in a variety of seminal musical projects: from John’s 1976 Morris tunes album Plain Capers through Steeleye Span to Brass Monkey.

Their enduring enjoyment of performing with each other shines through in their performances.

Tickets to see the pair perform cost £16 or £14 for concessions.

The night before, the Memo will show an encore screening of Theatr Gen Byw's Macbeth (12A).

On Wednesday, March 1, the theatre will screen the Welsh language show with English subtitles, from the original performance on February 14.

The King of Scotland has generously rewarded his brightest warrior. But supernatural beings have predicted for Macbeth a far greater honour.

When his merciless wife is captivated by the promise of infinite power, fuelling her husband’s fiendish ambition, he is doomed, and their devilish plans turn to bloody massacre.

Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru’s site-specific production – live from Caerphilly Castle – of Shakespeare’s tragedy in a new Welsh translation by the late Gwyn Thomas.

Cast includes Richard Lynch (Pobol y Cwm, Hinterland) as Macbeth and Ffion Dafis (Byw Celwydd, Rownd a Rownd) as his merciless wife.

The director of the show is Arwel Gruffydd.

Tickets to see Macbeth cost £11 or £8 for concessions.
