September also sees The Young 'Uns taking the stage on the 20th with support from Sunjay Brayne, singer-songwriter Kieran Goss on Sunday 22nd and the Autumn Beer Festival on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th.

Late October features the Lichfield Festival of Folk 2013, with artists such as Kimber's Men, John Kirkpatrick, Meet On The Ledge, Les Barker, The Jigantics and Folklaw. The festival starts on Friday October 25 and runs until Sunday October 27.

On Saturday 23rd Lichfield Arts hosts a Rock Night featuring several local bands, and the singer/songwriter and poet Sarah Gillespie makes a welcome return to the Guildhall on Friday 29th supported by Little Sparrow.

The fast rising critically acclaimed duo of Katriona Roberts and Jamie Gilmore play on Saturday 21st and Lichfield favourites The Climax Blues Band, plus support Bekah Downes close the 2013 season on Sunday December 22.



Lichfield Arts Director Dave Simcox says: "We have a full and varied programme for autumn 2013 that offers high quality music and entertainment. Our concerts and festivals offer excellent value for money and the Lichfield Guildhall is a unique historic venue in which to enjoy them. As ever, we are indebted to our team of dedicated volunteers without whom we could not run these fantastic events."
