Tom McConville is a wonderful fiddle player and vocalist from Tyneside who brings a wealth of talent and experience to share with us tonight. This man is well respected by the many people he has worked with but I think his magic comes to the fore in front of a live audience as the tunes flow sometimes at break neck speed other times in a halting but beautiful slow air. His songs range from his beloved North East to the USA and beyond. Don’t worry, your contribution to the choruses will not be forgotten.
Scolds Bridle are Sue Bousfield and Liz Moore. Sue plays English concertina and Liz guitar and bouzouki. Expect great harmony singing from this well respected duo whose songs range from the poignant to the hilarious. They have appeared in many productions based on the Fylde area and had a number of songs written especially for them.
Jeff Warner comes from an American folk dynasty that I could not do justice to here. Suffice to say that he is a consummate performer who has a fine singing voice and can accompany himself on banjo, concertina and guitar. Come along for a wonderful crossover American/English traditional evening. Just wait until you see his amazing dancing doll. He loves to involve the audience so plenty of opportunity to join in.
This is Hector’s second visit to the club and it is a joy to see and hear him in the Midlands again. I know he is no stranger to many of you who are regulars at the Alcester Festival. He has a fine ballad singing voice and a warm personality. Listen out for songs from the Robert Burns collection but he is also adept singing a contemporary number. You will get plenty of opportunity to join in. His CD “days o’ grace” has had some wonderful reviews.
Their first Cd was entitled “Under the Influence” Which is aptly titled for as you listen you will soon be under the spell of this duo who are tried and trusted performers. Two of the finest voices around coupled with Damien’s excellent accompaniments. Old songs and new songs with plenty opportunity to participate in the choruses so come early for a seat.
