Janet Russell is making a return visit to the Diamond. A treasure trove of Scottish traditional songs sit beside songs of social comment, all delivered in her unique voice and accompanied on guitar. With a selection of self penned numbers and some diddling throw in (that’s mouth music to you and me) you will get more than your money’s worth. Come along, sing the choruses and see why we have been booking her down through the years

Tom Lewis is no stranger to the club and it is great to have him back. For songs of the sea he has very few equals, but he is just as adept with songs of the land. A large warm personality who is at home both in a club and on a maritime festival stage. He is no slouch at song composition, with most of his songs going straight in to the folk cannon. His accompaniment on button box or uke is first rate and his sense of humour is a joy to behold. Bring your lungs you’ll need them.

This is a coming together of Carolyn Robson, Paul Hutchinson and Kevin Dempsey and each of them could hold an evening on their own. Carolyn’s superlative voice has had us mesmerised whenever she has appeared before, Kevin is known for his wonderful guitar playing and Paul is a brilliant accordionist. Expect music and song, both ancient and modern, but come early as we expect they will garner a lot of interest.

Shepherds Purse are Eric and Eileen Payne with Jim Preston. Stalwarts of the Somers and Fold Folk clubs. Three distinctive voices that can fill the air, blending gentle, precise and delicate harmonies with songs drawn from the folk tradition, contemporary folk song and their own original and inspiring new compositions. We are looking forward to their first visit and we know that they will give you plenty to sing about.
