Martin and Shan Graebe are bringing a festive flavour to the club tonight. Amongst the repertoire will be songs of Christmas and beyond. Some of them may your favourites while others might be new to you. Come along and join in the choruses. Due to their previous Cds selling out they have recently released a new compilation Cd  called ‘Calm and Collected’.

Keith Kendrick and Sylvia Needham are making their third visit to the club as a duo. Both play concertina and are fine singers, both as soloists and singing harmony. Songs of the land and songs of the sea with plenty of opportunity to join in and, this being December, I am hoping for a few seasonal songs. They are equally at home performing at a festival or in the cozy confines of a folk club. In fact they run the Derby folk club which meets monthly in the old gaol house.

Jody is a brilliant singer songwriter and Anglo concertina player who is touring from the States. He sings Traditional and popular America songs of yesteryear. From witty and humorous ditties to songs that explore the depths of the human condition, his singing tells American stories that are hilarious, gritty and true stories of train wrecks and wrecked marriages, death row convicts and lonesome lovers, heroes, losers, swaggering braggarts, lazy slackers and slapstick fools. A treat for the chorus singers among you.

Ros Brady and Simon Barron are paying their first visit to the club after impressing some of the committee while they were visiting a club on holiday. Ros on Tin whistle and Vocals Si on Guitar and Vocals lovely harmonies and a very engaging stage presence they perform a mixture of self penned and traditional songs. New and familiar choruses to join in with.
