The Back o’the Shop Art Café in Terrington is expanding into neighbourly new territory on Thursday night.

Having established the gallery on the Ryedale art scene, Ian Hughes is diversifying into promoting live entertainment, using Terrington Village Hall.

“We’re really pleased to announce that we’re fortunate to have secured the talents of the Ian McMillan Orchestra to launch our series of concerts with a scintillating night of poems, music, comedy and improv entitled Sharp Stories,” says Ian.

“The orchestra’s tour takes in Lancaster, Lincoln, London, Liverpool, Rotherham and Abergavenny, with the Terrington leg being the only one in the north of the country.”

Tickets for the 7.30pm concert are on sale at £15 at Terrington Stores or on 01653 648488.
