2026 and Feast of Fiddles are out again – their 31st tour. Born in Nettlebed on Valentine’s Day 1994 as a one-off special concert, Feast of Fiddles is a band of friends that puts on a show of huge dynamic range performed with passion, joy and a liberal dose of fun. 

Phil Beer (Show of Hands), Garry Blakeley (Band of Two), Marion Fleetwood (Trad Arr, Sandy Denny Project), Mark Jolley (Banter), Tom Leary (Joe Brown) and Simon Swarbrick (Merry Hell) bring a large range of fiddle playing styles to the rock back-line – all held together by legendary drummer Dave Mattacks. 

This year Phil Beer will join for seven performances and former dep Mark Jolley joins the band for the whole tour. This is a live music entertainment like no other on the circuit which is guaranteed to be enjoyed by even the most doubting of friends dragged along!

“Absolutely awesome!” – Sue Marchant, BBC East

“Britain’s fiddling supergroup” – Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2

“The best fiddle players of a generation” – Ian A Anderson

From the moment he first danced his fingers across the keys, Ben Waters has been on a mission to capture the raw, unrestrained joy of boogie-woogie and early rock ’n’ roll. He’s long been celebrated as one of Britain’s most electrifying pianists, described by the press as “key-shattering boogie-woogie” and “one of the best pianists in the UK.”

Over decades of touring the world, Ben has shared stages with musical giants including Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, Ray Davies, Jools Holland, and many more. His performances are bursting with energy, humour, and the spirit of true rock ’n’ roll — a living link to the music that shaped generations.

A Remarkable Musical Partnership

Ben’s musical journey becomes even more extraordinary when told through the eyes — and saxophone — of his son, Tom Waters.

Tom grew up surrounded by music. At just eight years old, he picked up the saxophone after joining his father on tour with Rocket 88, where he met and was mentored by sax legends Willie Garnett, Don Weller, and Alex Garnett. By the age of nine, Tom was already sitting in with Charlie Watts and was introduced to Bobby Keys and Tim Ries from The Rolling Stones — who famously presented him with a saxophone to encourage his playing.

At just thirteen years old, Tom made the bold decision to leave traditional schooling and join his father on tour full-time. Together they performed an astonishing 900 shows across 52 countries in just three years, bringing their dynamic, family-driven music to audiences around the world.

Tom later refined his craft with formal study, completing four years at the Royal Academy of Music, where he graduated with flying colours. His education, combined with his vast touring experience, has shaped him into one of the most exciting and versatile young saxophonists in the UK.

Now a rising star in his own right, Tom has worked with world-class artists across genres — from rhythm & blues and jazz to funk, Latin, and soul — and continues to perform internationally, composing and recording music for stage, screen, and television.

What to Expect on Stage

When Ben and Tom Waters take the stage together, audiences witness something rare: a deep musical bond between father and son that fuses experience, passion, and instinct.

· Expect thunderous, foot-stomping piano from Ben — a masterclass in boogie-woogie and blues, delivered with charisma and flair.

· Expect soaring, soulful saxophone from Tom — at times lyrical and tender, at others fiery and exhilarating.

· Expect spontaneity, humour, and pure joy — every show is unique, bursting with life and musical chemistry.

This is not just a concert — it’s a celebration of the enduring power of rhythm & blues, rock ’n’ roll, and jazz, performed by two musicians at the top of their game who share both blood and beat.

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable's intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition.

Two of Britain's greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in February so that you can enjoy both film and exhibition together. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.

Turner's blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable's idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Constable represents the very best of the old school of realism and pastoral nostalgia; Turner, an exciting new way of depicting emotion and dreamlike impressions. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of fire and water. Don't miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.
