To mark the occasion, the Lichfield Guildhall will host a farewell evening on May 7.

Opening the evening will be the The Crooked Bawbees and their traditional, blistering Northumbrian music, before local duo Chloe Smith and Tom Wigley blend jazz and pop.

Local piper John Smith is then followed by Off The Hook, before special guest Sally Barker rounds off the evening.

Brian said:

> “I hope old friends and new would be able to come it will be a great informal evening.”

The evening starts at 7.30pm and admission is free. For more details call 01543 262223 or visit [www.lichfieldarts.org.uk](http://www.lichfieldarts.org.uk/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
