Posted on by Graham Hiley

Fans of Galician bagpipe specialist Carlos Nunez can get a free upgrade to VIP status for his show at the Wickham Festival if they are also attending his show the previous night.

The renowned Spanish celtic musician is playing the Chapel Sessions not-for-profit event at Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley on Wednesday August 5.

People who buy for both shows will get a free VIP pass on production of their Southampton show ticket on arrival at Wickham.

Fans are advised it is worth seeing the man dubbed “Hendrix of the bagpipes” in two completely different settings especially with the free upgrade at Wickham.
