Solar Schools presents an evening with The Sky Walkers, a seven piece band performing a lively mix of rock, pop, folk, jazz and R&B – mostly covers designed to get you moving and having a good time. They’re great musicians and singers from West Devon and East Cornwall, playing songs you know and love!

Doors 7.30pm, start time 8.30pm.
Free entry, donations in bucket please for the RNLI.
