Bob and Gill Berry

We welcome back Bob and Gill Berry. No strangers to regulars of the Chippenham festival or the Devizes folk club. Their repertoire covers a variety of songs, both Traditional and Contemporary. They have two lovely rich singing voices, with many of their numbers accompanied by Bob on guitar, and some glorious harmony singing as well. We always enjoy their friendly but polished performance. Choruses are a certainty.

This Group have a well-earned reputation for tight and inventive harmony singing. Their arrangements of both traditional and contemporary songs are a joy to listen to. The interplay between them on stage only comes from a long friendship and affectation for each other. They love an appreciative audience and I can guarantee they will have you singing along from the start.

Steve Turner is known as a pioneer of highly sophisticated English concertina song accompaniments and has one of the best voices around. He is a multi- instrumentalist, accomplished on both the mandolin and banjo. Steve is equally at home on a large festival stage or an intimate folk club like ours and with a great repertoire of ballads it is a night to look forward to. Curious Times his latest CD is a real gem, get your hands on a copy.

Stonesthrow

Stonesthrow combines the strong lead vocals of Tony Fowkes with the natural harmonies of Steve & Julie Wigley. The Derby based trio perform mainly acapella. With their set spiced by the occasional song featuring Julie on accordion and Steve's guitar. Their choice of songs ranges from the traditional working songs of the sea and the land to contemporary songs of family, love and loss, providing a rich variety of material for their three part harmonies. They have been winners and runners-up in the 'Write a Song for Lincolnshire'. First time visit for this trio to the Diamond. I am sure they will welcome you joining in the choruses.

29th. Nov. Peter and Barbara Snape

The Snapes
The Snapes

We are always pleased to have the Snapes back at the club. There is no one quite like them, being equally at home with traditional material or songs from the music hall and variety days. Barbara’s lovely clear voice and Peter’s sensitive melodeon are a joy to the ear. The material is delivered with a light touch that belies a professional and well honed performance. They are constantly adding to their repertoire. So come early they are very popular.
