May - Well Dressings & Summer on the horizon!So near and yet so far! Our April Concert provided a masterful performance from Martin Simpson ably supported by two very talented young local acts – Jayne Dent who started the show and Hannah Wall, who opened the second half, to the second highest audience, (by ONE!), since we started in January 2008.

Al Parrish is a ‘one of a kind’ folk musician, who plays double bass, guitar and sings a range of traditional and contemporary songs from 'MacCrimmon's Lament' (in Gaelic) to Stephen Foster's 'Hard Times', in a voice once described as 'half way between melted chocolate and sex'. With stage presence, tall stories and good humour he was the dynamo at the heart of the Canadian folk supergroup Tanglefoot from 1994 until the band broke up in 2009. With Tanglefoot you got unbridled ebullience, swashbuckling verve, vigour and good humour, and the promise of great entertainment. Nothing has changed – at an Al Parrish concert you have a solo artist who was born to be in the entertainment business and whose musical background encompasses every genre - folk, country, bluegrass, rockabilly, rock & roll and heavy metal. Supporting talent with talent we have two more local acts – Maureen Levers, and, the young singing guitar player Abbie Rechert who has been performing at our open-mic shows

Award winning talents - both born into the folk tradition, this acclaimed duo comprises the groundbreaking English fiddle player and singer Nancy Kerr and her Aussie partner James Fagan, (bouzouki, voice), who play a scintillating mix of traditional and contemporary acoustic music drawn mostly from the English and Australian traditions. They are renowned for their beautiful and at times breathtaking instrumentals, strong harmony singing, original and fulsome arrangements and their love of live performance. A night with Kerr and Fagan is always memorable, and their love of interaction with a live audience has become one of their trademarks. Support: Bob Ballard. |

Vin Garbutt is 'powerful', 'hugely moving', 'warm', 'humane', 'inspired', 'funny' and 'gut wrenchingly honest' - just some of the superlatives used to describe Vin's live performances. An international, award winning, singer songwriter with more than 42 years on the road who has been recognised by his peers with nominations and awards from BBC 2 Folk Radio and considered worthy of a biopic film, the "Teesside Troubadour", about his life and career. Vin is a national treasure who is always in demand, and rightly so. Expect nothing less than an evening of superb entertainment from this friendly and approachable giant of the UK Folk scene. His shows are continually sell outs, so get your tickets early! |
