MusicFest ’17, ’18 & ’19 + Gala Concert 2019

Four very experienced folk musicians coming together to create something very special.

It started with a gig.In the summer of 2016 a scratch band was formed for a one off event and out of the chrysalis of simple necessity,emerged a joyous mix of Retro, Americana, Jazz, Folk and whatever else took our fancy on the day , giving rise to a style which has become known to the band as “gloriana”.

The Boxwood Chessmen are:-
Penni McLaren Walker – Lead vocals, Guitars, Bouzouki, Whistles, kazoo, Accordion and percussion, not necessarily all at the same time.
