Live Music: Beth Aggett and Billy Marrows' Grandinha Família

(LITTLE VENICE)

December 11th 7.30pm

Puppet Theatre Barge • Little Venice

*THIS IS A LIVE MUSIC CONCERT, NOT A PUPPET SHOW*

Grandinha Família Christmas Special on the Puppet Theatre Barge!

Amsterdam-based singer-songwriter Beth Aggett joins Billy Marrows' Grandinha Família in returning to the Puppet Theatre Barge for a third year running for a festive night celebrating the launch of their new Christmas EP, 'Sing, Robin, Sing!'

Expect a folky chamber-jazz set of original songs and traditional carols, performed with voice, guitar, trumpet and woodwinds, alongside Portuguese Young Musician of the Year 2025 Teresa Macedo Ferreira on viola. This ensemble presents a fresh, intimate take on the classic Christmas themes of winter, warmth, and nostalgia.

All EP sales go to World Child Cancer, continuing the fundraising work Billy began with his debut album 'Penelope', shortlisted for Album of the Year at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards, which raised over £6,000 in memory of his mother.

This is the first stop on a three-day EP launch tour, and with two sold-out years behind it, this show tends to go fast. Book early to avoid missing out.

Line-up:

Beth Aggett - vocals

Billy Marrows - acoustic guitar and vocals Teresa Macedo Ferreira - viola
Mike Soper - trumpet
Tom Ridout - saxophones and recorders Gustavo Clayton Marucci - bass clarinet
