Feb 2nd. Tom Lewis

Tom Lewis
Tom Lewis

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.

Jan 5th. Shepherds Purse

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.

Derek Gifford needs very little introduction from me as he has been a friend and past resident of this club since the days I was in short trousers. He is a fine interpreter of traditional songs and always a favourite to get people to sing. Never a one to stand still he has put some fine tunes to other peoples words that you can hear sung up and down this country and farther afield. Not a night to miss.
