ACCLAIMED female acoustic band Waking The Witch will be playing their penultimate gig at The David Hall, South Petherton, on Saturday, April 19.
After five years on the road, Patsy Matheson, Becky Mills, Jools Parker and Rachel Goodwin have decided to call it a day and will be coming to Somerset as part of their farewell tour of the UK.
The Yorkshire-based group burst onto the Leeds music scene in 2003 with their light and shade folk, blues, jazz and rock and quickly gained a name for their innovative song writing and pitch perfect four-part harmonies.
With their distinctive styles and performances, the singer songwriters play a wide range of instruments, from the slide guitar to the mandolin.
They have appeared at festivals across the UK, including Glastonbury, Trowbridge and Cambridge and championed by several broadcasters including BBC Radio 2's Janice Long and former BBC Radio London world music presenter Charlie Gillett.
The gig will feature songs from all three of their records - the debut album Like Everybody, the sparsely effective Hands and Bridges and the consummate Boys from the Abattoir, produced by Dave Creffield (The Kaiser Chiefs and Embrace).

"We've had a fantastic time on the UK acoustic circuit and are really proud of what we've achieved but we all feel it's time to pursue other things and spend more time with our families," Patsy said.
She added: "We'd like to thank everyone for their brilliant support over the past five years.
"We worked hard to produce a memorable live show and played some great gigs to really excellent audiences all round the country - we've had a ball."
The show starts at 8pm.
