Trevelyan Wright, CEO of Newhampton Arts Centre said:
“After 18 months in which we’ve missed live events it’s a pleasure to be putting together such a full and varied spring 2022 programme. Our muchloved Folk at
NAC and Jazz at Wolverhampton programmes return. We have great live music from acts like Seth Lakeman, comedy theatre for adults and families; along with special events as part of the Offsite9 programme inspired by British Art Show 9. We look forward to seeing you soon at NAC”
